Prefered transmission oil for 89 Charokee?
I recently bought a 89 Charokee that's in very good condition for a 15 year old
car. Every other car I owned and belonged to a newsgroup for there has been a prefered transmission lubricant. I find the transmission on my xj to be a little stiff to shift. My daughter has a grand charokee she got new and she says mine shifts easier. So from that I think mine is "normal". Is there a prefered transmission oil that might possibly give better shifts? Thanks JoBo |

Do you have your owner's manual to refer to? You may have the

Re: Prefered transmission oil for 89 Charokee?
Bill,
Thanks for the reply. I looked this morning and can see I have a two piece case bolted top and bottom. So that means I have the "Light duty BA 10/5" French one. I know the French don't have a good reputation for making cars. But I also know the Gleason differential was bought by a Frenchman from a Russian co. The owners manual calls for GL5 75W-90. My question is should I use dino or synthetic oil. Since using shell rotella synthetic 5w40 in my jetta tdi I've started using it in my other vw cars with very good results. Also vw's vanagons that have a weak slider gear for third (as I recall) and it cracks, work better with redline synthetic. Any thoughts on synthetic for my 89 4L XJ and if so what brands?
