Service advice needed

Post by nikhan »

Ok so now I've done some search and found the following that I need

Engine Oil - Redline 10W30
Oil Filter - Reyco Z411

Now I've done searches for tranny oil and tranny oil filter but the more I look the more confusing it gets. Anyone can give me some advice?? I'm driving an tip/auto btw and is a 95GPX

Tip box filter is the same as the engine oil filter yiou have listed there & you should use Dextron III as the oil.

Thanks Ben. One more question, when my windows wind up there is a big gap at top of the back of the window and it doesnt seem to fit just right with the rubber. I have to close the gap by closing the door with my palm putting pressure on the wondow at the back end for it to be tight. The window is also pretty loose but has no rattle. Window guides perhaps or i need to tighten something in there?

The door isn't closing properly, you need to adjust the hook on the door frame the the door latches onto. Unscrew it, move it inwards a bit, and then get a 250kg weightlifter to tighten it up again so it doesn't come loose in a year.
LED ALL the things.

lol thats not very helpful....anyway. My door is flushed witht the main body its just the window pane that is the problem where the top of the window is prevented from making it tight as it cannot go under the rubber. Its kinda loose and when i close the door, i need to give the window a couple of slight knocks starting from the centre to the back so that it would fit just right in. As long as I close the door, there is usually a pretty big gap at the back end. I tried winding the windows down and up again but same results. If anyone is still confused, think about when you lock yourself out of the car and the guy comes, slide a little deflated air cushion in and pump air in.

Youll need to adjust the glass. The screws are under the door lining. Really fiddly im afraid.

    ^this

    window alignment screws.

    had 3 years of playing with these when my passenger window got smashed (stolen stereo)

    dis-advantages of having frameless windows im afraid

    theres two(?) on each end of the window (under the trim as dwayne said) they control the angle of the window
