kudlinski Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I want to change my gearbox oil tomorrow on the main gearbox (LT77). Would ATF Q3 be ok to use as i already have some in the garage? Would changing the oil improve gear change as the box was really smooth until i put the landy in storage for a couple of months and now its really notchy. Any help appreciated Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 ATF is fine but MTF94 is better & will help when the box is cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renault4 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I cannot give high enough praise for MTF94 I bought some from my local LR dealer and it cost £28 inc vat for 5 litres so only used half but what a diference it has made still nochy but much quieter and almost from day one, at first I thought it was the old placebo effect but no, it realy has helped.I have had so many people say "if land rover meant to put it in they would have done" but I think they are missing the point. things move on and improvements are made. Land rovr may not be too happy to admit that their old oil is carp. Try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudlinski Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Thankyou all for the help. Replaced the oil today and it has made a huge difference, its like driving a new car again. Whilst i appear to be on a roll i want to replace the oil in the transfer case tomorrow. Would i be right in thinking the transfer case uses EP90?

western Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Yes, EP90 or a EP80/90 of good quality & approx 2.3 litres will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newclear Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Might as well throw this in the same Oil related thread, R380 ATF only? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 nope you can use MTF94 or ATF in the R380, mine runs very well on boggo standard ATF fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tris Cocks Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Im about to change my gearbox fluid and have found a can of ATF with about 2 and a bit litres in it, will this be enought for a R380? Tris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiny Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It all depends on how much "a bit" means. IIRC an R380 takes 2.67 litres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
