ClosetotheEdge Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Lubegard additives in power steering. PTU has Royal Purple gear oil and Lubegard gear additive. I added Lubegard to the engine oil. Oil looked fresh on truck purchase. I will change to Royal Purple oil AND RP oil filter. I run Royal Purple in my modified grand Prix GTX. I also use Lucas oil stabilizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macbwt Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 You folks make me feel like I am doing something wrong. I just put oil in it. Change the transmission and keep driving. Power steering fluid was changed out. Leaking hose so after 5 bottles got it fixed and the fluid was already changed. Brake fluid may be changed a bit, just got to get me a Turkey baster since the wife won't give up hers in the kitchen LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClosetotheEdge Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 MACBWT with 267K miles and about$250 in repair bills, you are WAY ahead of us. I also drained 4 quarts of trans fluid and put Lubegard trans fluid in. I think I am going to change out 4 quarts every 25-30K miles. Fluid was little worn that I took out. Definitely very red when I installed Lubegard. My eperience with lubegard from years ago, is that it is a superior product. ....all just a matter of how long you want to keep a vehicle going. Our 1995v Pontiac Transport finally rusted out the subframe connectors at the body. 20 years and 170K miles of wife daily stop and go with kids...cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
