Difflock Evo oils?

[jcwcooper]

I keep reading all the hype about it and my Box oil could do with a change? Im sure some of you on here have got it so is it worth the money?

Thanks

Dave.

Put them in my 90 and the gear change was far better

[jcwcooper]

That was quick!

Has it reduced the whine at all?

Cheers

I have the evo oil in my gearbox, it's made an improvement.

It's no wonder oil, it won't fixed a knackered box, but it does make it better.

[white90]

Mine never whined so I have no idea the boxes both were easier in operation once it was poured in

Used the recommended difflock oil in my LT95 and the change from first to second became a lot lot easier especially when cold. Generally improved the feel of the box when warm too- didn't feel so much like stirring a box of nails.

I have it in mine. All the boxes and the diffs.

It was said to me by somebody that borrowed my Defender in South Africa. "That's the best 380 I've driven.

it is very good,

the synchro had completely gone on 2nd gear in our old discovery, so much so i had to double D clutch going up the gears and 2nd was impossible going down the gears - so i stuck some of this in and the synchro reappeared!

ok, it was still crunchy - but i could at least get it in gear without too much drama.

lasted about 5k miles before i finally found the time to swap the box out.

as others have said, wont fix a knackered box - but it will put off having to replace it.

My LT 77 in my 1985 has always been a bit notchy in 1st and second (Baulks often going into 1st) using original spec ATF.

First I tried MTF as recommended by Land Rover (and purchased from them) for the R380 - Made the gearchange worse.

Second I tried ATF together with an additive supplied by Ashcrofts - Much better than MTF.

Third, I am on Difflocks evo oil now, and it is no better than on ATF.

Diff

Take a look at Red Line oils.

I put some MT90 in my LT-85 - totally transformed the shift esp 1st-2nd.

Take a look at Red Line oils. MT90

MTL is what you would want if you've got an R380.

I haven't tried MTL in the 90 yet myself, but I'm using MT90 in my Triumph gearboxes and it's bloody good.

I've used MTL and a brew of MTL/MT90 (2/3MTL-1/3MT90, straight MTL thinned out too much in our summers, the gearchange went to hell ) as well as a few other brews, and the change wasn't as nice as Castrol Syntrans (and it gets too thin on +35*C days too)
