2.5TDI :-
front axle = 37 spline, diff = 8" diameter (High Pinion)
rear axle = 37 spline, diff = 8" diameter

3.5V6 & 2.8TDI :-

Great info Demonoid! ... wonder if there are Gen 2 3.5L v6s available in Pakistan

[travelinghell]

@Demonoid nice thread for pajero enthusiastics. plz let me know how often pajero need a oil change and how much litters required for a 2.8TDI gen2. do i need to change the rear differential oil. is there any other maintance required other then this.
regard .

Dear Bro, It depends on which oil you are using, if you are using Delo Gold/Silver then it should be changed after every 2500-3000km! If you are using Liqui Moly which i recommend then it should be change after every 5000km not more than that....

Oil Capacity for 2.8TDi is around 7.25-7.6 liter including oil filter & Oil Cooler!

Yes, as you bought the urself new vehicle.... and if you dont know that when were the oils changed... I suggest you should change

-> Front Diff Oil (50000km)
-> Rear Diff Oil (50000km)
-> Transfer Case Oil (50000km)
-> Gear Oil (If auto 50000km) other wise after 70-75k km
-> Engine Oil (Delo 2500km) (Liqui Moly 5000km)
-> Diesel Filter (If Genuine 10000km)
-> Oil Filter (If Genuine 5000 km)
-> Air Filter (If Genuine 5000 km)

i have one Gdi v6 98 model...
ABHI TAK chalai hee nahi yara bss khari hee ha due to mess of dis amnesty scheme decsion.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using PW Forums mobile app

government might relax the amnesty cars buyer after some time but this time the court have order to confiscate the rides bought under this scheme .. may be the buyers appeal in supreme court because high court is done on there decision of confiscating all rides so no plea will accepted in high court ...
thanks god i have bought a ride of government action and registered Islamabad .. because in Islamabad the excise office send a letter to the government ministry to clearing that the ride is originally a government auction +chemical labotary test is a must , without it no registration in Islamabad is possible .
my one friend bought a surf 98 and while buy he offered me to buy one for my self too but i have fear in mind so i declined. now he is using it in islamabad after the high court orders too ..

[travelinghell]

Dear Bro, It depends on which oil you are using, if you are using Delo Gold/Silver then it should be changed after every 2500-3000km! If you are using Liqui Moly which i recommend then it should be change after every 5000km not more than that....

Oil Capacity for 2.8TDi is around 7.25-7.6 liter including oil filter & Oil Cooler!

Yes, as you bought the urself new vehicle.... and if you dont know that when were the oils changed... I suggest you should change

-> Front Diff Oil (50000km)
-> Rear Diff Oil (50000km)
-> Transfer Case Oil (50000km)
-> Gear Oil (If auto 50000km) other wise after 70-75k km
-> Engine Oil (Delo 2500km) (Liqui Moly 5000km)
-> Diesel Filter (If Genuine 10000km)
-> Oil Filter (If Genuine 5000 km)
-> Air Filter (If Genuine 5000 km)

dear where do i buy these oil , diesel and air filters genuine or others , which you recommend . never heared of transfer case oil ... is it some special sort of oil or available on petrol pumps . what are the grades and velocity , names of these oil i.e rear and front differential oils.

for my satisfaction if i change all category of required oils in my ride how much it gonna cost me . (A)

@travelinghell

Bro below are the oil specs

Engine Oil: 10-40w
Front Diff: GL-5 75-90w
Rear Diff: GL-5 75-90w
OR
Rear Diff (LSD): Toyota LSD Oil 85-90W or Liqui Moly LS 85-90w
Transfer Case: GL-4 75-90 or 75-85w
Gear Oil (Auto): ATF DEXRON-II

All Oils & Filters will cost you around 40k!

thanks you bhai for your kind information ! man you are a encyclopedia of pajero....... now i figure out why pple hesitate to have a SUV like this .. 40k is quite a huge amount of general maintenance since it's necessary for me to do so because i bought it now and don't know what the previous owner was doing with oils .. or may i check him about the differentials oil so still i can save a little amount .

Thanks bro for your kind words, really appreciate that... 40k is the Initial cost, you dont have to spend 40k after every month or 2 months! It is the one time cost.

Diff oils, Transfer Case oil & Auto Transmission Oil, these oil should be changed after 50-60k km! Means after a year!

The maintenance that you need after 5000km which is

Engine Oil
Oil Filter
Air Filter

Cost: Around 10k

And yeah ask the previous owner about Diff oil, especially Auto tranny oil!

Check your inbox too.

Yup its good if you get 1 number Quality! But i ll recommend Mitsubishi Motors ATF SP III

or

Liqui Moly Top Tec ATF 1200 which is easily available and the best option!
