TheBeastie Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Does anyone know if this offering would be OK for axles and transfer box on my 90. The price seems very attractive!

Thanks Malcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Malcy Yes it will be fine, though it is a GL4 spec oil. Latest (higher spec) is GL5. Regards, Diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeastie Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Thanks Diff Mine is a 1991 Defender so I guess the older spec will be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oap Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Thanks Diff Mine is a 1991 Defender so I guess the older spec will be OK. As far as I know gl4 is the correct spec oil for your transfer box. The older boxes had brass or bronze (not sure which) parts in them which gl5 oil reacts with and causes them to fail. Its fine in the diffs though.
