Gear box and front & rear axles. was created by provencemick

Hi all, What's the best gearbox oil and thick additive and same question for the front and rear axles. My Jimny (1.3 soft top, 85k miles) has a bit of a whine, so I thought I'd renew the oils & additives. Thank you in advance.

All that information is in the wiki section of the site on the header.

The information is in the "Forecourt" article in the wiki.

It is generally not recommended to add any additives in any transmission oils (for example various MoS2 based additives, Ceratecs, etc.).

They can be useful for some special cases, but you truly have to know very well what you are "alcheming" with.

I thought my Jimny had a dreadful whining noise coming from it but I found an easy fix - by making the wife walk the whining noise went away

IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

Same here!

Although the noise has started again from the other sofa since reading Max's post out!
