Swivel pin housing oil (grease) renewal
Been reading Haynes manual and it mentions the need to change the oil in the swivel pins every 24k for non td5 defenders.
I also noticed that under the heading Lubricants and fluids in the Haynes manual it mentions Texaco EP00 grease for the TD5.
So my question is, as it does not mention the TD5 having the renewal of oil / grease as it does other defenders why does it mention what grease to use...is this when you replace the swivel pins or is it an service item Confused

TD5 use a fill for life or one shot grease,so strictly speaking not servicable,I think the others use a gear type oil. Pov.spec,ftw. 2006, 110,TD5.

There,s no swivel housing drain plug on Td5 (or 300 Tdi) so would be rather difficult to change the grease ! I just squirt a little in at service time as they weep ever so slightly. 2005 Td5 90 XS

Once a year I used to put half a sachet into each side. Easy to do once you get the grease hot.
