23,000 and change on the clock.
I used redline 75/140 (i don't abuse it but the added protection for off road/ towing will be handy)
ARB covers. - I hand painted the ARB logo and put on 5 coats of satin clear(rattle can)
this first pic, let me say a normal allen socket like this is far too long to fit properly between the suspension components. I cut mine short and easily had an inch or so of free space to get my tool in place. This was super frustrating trying to do with the longer version. 100% worth cutting.

fluid was a touch on the black side, felt fine very little fuzz overall.

sprayed with Electric parts cleaner(carb cleaner will degrade the plastic rubber components inside)
pic is half sprayed on top bottom is how it looked un sprayed.

Weird that neither, the forums, dealer or ARB could give me a straight answer on torque. 20 was the best solid answer I could get. 20 held up and no leaks!
big thanks to all of you on the forums who helped with questions.
this last bit has be concerned. is this slop normal ?
