yep, different and many different types. If you do a search on here you will find a wealth of information! you'll also need a 32mm spanner to undo the sump nut on the R380 box

MTF94 oil for gearbox (best place to get it is a land rover dealer - same price, no postage - around £28 for a 5 litre - capacity is 2.5L )
EP75/90 for transfer box & diffs
As mentioned, you need a 32mm ring spanner for gearbox drain, and a torx 55
You can't get a normal 32mm socket on the gbox drain there isn't enough room
You'll also need some sort of pump because both the gbox and trans fillers are hard to get at - suggest you can open the filler b4 you loosen the drain - just in case you end up with no oil, and no way to fill!!!!!

Was just gonna post the same....Better to have old oil in the box, than none!
:hijacked:Would a large syringe do the job? Not done it before but my g/box & t/box are due a fluid change in April and I'd like to be prepared ... any thought's on which pump to get/use if syringe is not a possibility?

I use a 500ml syringe and a foot of clear pipe, bought it from a tool shop and works really well. Good enough for EP as well as thinner oils too - £8 to buy.
Thanks for that
, already use a large syringe for the diff's just need a fresh one & the tubing and I'll be sorted for the gearbox. Put my mind at ease that has

Just out of interest, if you have one already for doing the diffs, why do you need a fresh one.
With mine I pump in EP for the axles and trans box, MTF94 for anual gearbox and Dexron III for the autobox. I just take the top off and remove any surplus oil from inside the cylinder???
Was going to get a larger size syringe as the one I've got is only 60ml, biggest one my local chemist had in stock at the time.
