Title: Gearbox oil for Vitara?
Post by: suzukiboyoz on May 22, 2007, 07:26:50 PM: Doing a major service on the Vit soon and I wanted to ask what oil I should use in my gearbox?
It has 135 000klms on it and the gearbox seems to be getting a little noise only on acceleration up the gears in 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
4th is fine.
Could be a little low on oil, havenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t checked but as I am replacing doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t matter too much.
What grade/brand of oil would be good for it, maybe a slightly heavier weight??
Also does the transfer box take the same oil or a different grade?
(It has the Calmini rockhopper gears in it)

Capacities and grades for a first generation Track/Kick/Vit:

Transmission Oil (M/T) 1.5L (2.6 Imp pt) (When replacing)
75W90 preferred
Transmission Oil (4 speed A/T) 2.5L (4.4L Imp pt)
DEXRON-IIE/DEXRON-III
Diff Gear Oil - Front 1.0L (1.76 Imp pt)
80W90 preferred
Diff Gear Oil - Rear 2.2L (3.9 Imp pt)
80W90 preferred
Transfer Case Oil 1.7L (3.0 Imp pt)
75W90 preferred

Any known brand should be OK
