Have a new to me 2005 Mazda Tribute 2.3 L manual trans 4 x 4. Similar to Ford Escape.
Want to change transfer case fluid (same thing as Ford Escape Power Transfer Unit), manual trans fluid, differential fluid.
Don't know anything about 4x4 transfer cases.
Owners manual says:
For transfer case or power transfer unit in this MANUAL transmission vehicle, API SERVICE GL-5 SAE 80W 90
For manual transaxle API SERVICE GL-4 75w 90
For rear axle lubricant API SERVICE GL-5 SAE 80W-90 PREMIUM REAR AXLE LUBRICANT.
Why different lubes for these three geared mechanisms?
Any suggestions for something better now 14 years after the 2005 Mazda (Ford) was made.
