loiner1965 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 as this is my first landy which is a ex mil 109 which i have taken back to bare metal and repainted....today as it still at work waiting for various jobs doing to it i decided to replace the diffs and transfer oils....it does whine abit as all landies do but in putting in low ratio ie 4 wheel drive it tends to whine more and not really happy etc...personally i think its low on oil as it drips under the transfer area. both diff oils were brown/grey colour and yucky....the transfer box was actually full but dirty...replace all the oils with fresh ep90 and it feels better to drive and also better in 4 wheel mode...forgot to do gearbox oil ....thats because i am use to modern cars now...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Low range will be a bit more winey than high as the Lo range gear pair have straight cut teeth and the Hi are helical cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Remember: don't use GL 5 specification oil. The additives in the GL5 oil will corrode the brass and bronze in the syncros at temperature. If you can't get GL 4 in your motor factors then try an oil distributer in an agriculturial area: my Castrol dealer supplier 20 litres EP90 to GL 4 for 70 euro (50 pounds?). I think GL5 will do for swivels and steering boxes, but not for diffs and gearboxes. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 GL5 will be fine in Salisbury diffs as they have no bronze in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
