Hey all, just got myself a 98 XJ sport with a 5 speed (48000 miles), and am looking to do some maintenence to it within the coming weeks. Got some questions though.
1) What kind of fluid does the AX-15 take? If I'm not mistaken the manual lists the incorrect type, or so I've heard. Is 75w90 correct? If so, would you recommend running synthetic?
2) I'm gonna replace the plugs and wires, and am looking for some AWESOME wires. I've heard the name Magnecore thrown about a bit, any additional info would be great. Awesome wires with a lifetime warranty is even better, and I know they'll be pricey but I don't care, I want the best for my new baby. I'll probably run NGK since I've had great luck with them in my 92, and I've heard they make a new 4 prong plug like the Bosch +4? Any comments?
3) What type of grease would you recommend for the u-joints, ball joints, steering, etc etc. I normally just buy whatever, but this time around I want to use the best of the best. Any recommendations as far as brand/weight?
4) Going with Mobil1 synthetic this route. I'm used to changing my oil every 5000 miles (used to use Valvoline, but now am a Castrol fan, and always use high quality filters -> Mobil1 or K&N). What would ya recommend as far as oil change schedules with synthetics? 7500 miles? 10000 miles?
That's everything I can think of for now. I plan on servicing the engine oil, air filter, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, tranny, x-case, front and rear diffs, greasing everything, new radiator + coolant flush. Did I miss anything?
Thanks in advance everyone!
