I have done 9000 ks in the last 2 months with the ute. Before I left I fitted a trans cooler from a Commodore. Cut the lines from the radiator with a grinder, and used trans hose to the cooler. Hanging with cable ties 6 inches in front of the A/C cooler. Dropped 5 litres of tranny fluid and did the filter .
Changed the oil with Penrite 10/40. Drove from Cairns to Halls Creek in WA through the hottest days of last year. Then from Halls Creek to the NT/SA border through the hottest days of the year. Then from Kulgera to Pt Augusta through blah blah then to the Riverland. I replaced a staked tyre . Did another 4 litre drop of the tranny(just in case). The rear wheel bearings sound the same as when I left. The stuffed struts are a little louder when bonking . Getting replaced on Monday. I carried all my gear and a motor bike,at 130kmh most of the time.Average 12.7l/100. . Mostly daytime driving. Engine used NO oil. Car has 272,000 ks. What a truly GOOD car!!! Mark
