In my opinion the use of sx75-90 is wholely incorrect for the main gearbox - it is a GL4 oil which, on LR's is only suitable for transfer boxes and diffs.

The recommended oil is MTF 94 and you'll need 3 ltrs (2.3 plus a topup bit.) You can get it from LR or any 4x4 specialist or Texaco or from here:
