Service of my 4.3 Pre-Cat Griffith

[dinos]

I am planning to service my car.
1992 Griffith 4.3 BV Pre-Cat
Because of availability in my country (Greece), my oil options are:
Engine: MOBIL Super 2000 10/40 Semi
Gearbox: = ATF220
Differential GNK: MOBILUBE LS 80-90 OR MOBILUBE LS 85-90
My question is, are the above oils ok for my car?
Thanks for all the help!

Hi any cooling mods to help deal with the high ambient temps out there?

I got the car 5 months ago and started using it only the last 2 months.
I have not tested it yet during the summer months!
In a couple of weeks, i will service it! and try to fix the problem that I have with my heater! (its blowing hot air lol..... even when the heater is off).

You can stop the heater blowing hot by putting a stop tap in the heater hose see here:

But you will still get heat soak from the engine bay into the cockpit.

The heater plug its to update the early cars or the later cars ? ( My car is a 1992 Precat).

The stop tap is just put in one of the rubber/silicon heater hoses I would guess that all cars had those.

Dinos,

If you go back to your post "Pre Cat Griffith heater" and have read the BH link, then be aware of the final note at the end of his modification.

Again in your previous post you will see how I did mine, it ensures coolant still gets round the engine, doesn't make the cockpit much cooler though.
