Greetings. After years of lurking and learning, I am finally going to make a post.
I have a TC33DA that I bought in 2007. Other than engine oil changes, this weekend was my first attempt at changing fluids/filters with 330 hrs on the clock. I changed the hydro fluid/filters, engine oil/filter, air and fuel filters and coolant. I bought 7.5 gal of 134G which proved to be just enough for the main. I need to go back for more fluid for the front axle. I was told that a better alternative to putting hydro fluid in the front axle was to use gear oil. It sounds logical, but I'm not sure I want to experiment with my favorite toy (er... tool). Has anyone else here been given this recommendation or switched to gear oil in the front axle? Should I play it safe and just use hydro oil?
