Mo Murphy Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Which Land Rover do you have Tom ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 As Mo implies it will depend on the age of vehicle and what gearbox is fitted etc. Have a look in the manual - it's all detailed in there. As a basic guide. LT77 gearbox - ATF Dexron III R380 gearbox - MTF 94 LT230 transfer box - EP90 GL4 Front/rear differentials - EP90 Swivel housings - EP90 (up to 200Tdi)/one-shot grease (300Tdi on) Obviously you will need to identify which components you have fitted, and the above is not 100% guaranteed - some changeover vehicles might have different components for example and some people use other oils.

Ex Member Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I would use MTF94 or similar in the gearbox. The ATF was what Rover specified, but they did that before MTFs were available. There is no need for GL4 for the transfer case. Any quality gear oil is fine. If you live somewhere that gets cold a 75W90 is a good idea. Gearbox is 2.2 liters. Transfer box is 2.8 liters. About 5 liters for both axles and swivels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 No. MTF94 is a 75W80. You want an XXW90 (EP90) for the transfer box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
