I read and read the owner manual and am looking for the type of grease to use on all of the fitting or will it matter?

Recommendations are????

I also changed the oil so the question there is how do you get that hose off of the inlet into the back side of the motor. Mine as a non-adjustable clamp.

On a good not the Grab bar, Front Bumper, sub-frame, and frame side rails are all polished and looking good.

Thanks

Smitty

Just use a good quality multipurpose grease and you'll be fine. As far as removing the inlet oil line, there is a little tab on that clamp, you will need a real small screwdriver or something to get underneath the little tab and push it straight up. Once that tab is up, you can pop up the overlap of the clamp and it will come right off. I then used a normal hose clamp when I put the line back on. But I wouldn't worry too much about taking that line off to clean the filter, I went to all the trouble of doing this and that filter was clean as a whistle. I think if you keep your other "main" oil filter clean on a regular basis, you won't have to mess with the inlet filter very often at all.

It is in the owners manual in the cleaning section, It says to use high guality lithium soap-based grease.

Thanks, I'll have to learn to read now. I guess I missed it.

On the hose clamp, there's no way I'm taking it back apart right now to check it. Next oil change.

Later
