LR 90 Gearbox Oil Type

hi guys

Did the search and really nothing covers my question.

I am driving around in hot spain and not wet uk and hopefully someone could tell me what oil I should use in the LT77 box. HP 90, ATF or some other wonderful mixture?

And is there some oil pump in the box?????

Cheers

I put MT 75 in mine and it made things much easier changing gear wise and its quieter too

cheers grunt as always. and landy10

ok but in hot climates is thicker oil better?

If you use a fully synthetic MT75 then the heat factor does not really apply as fully synthetic is better at coping with extremes of hot and cold

Yes there is. Its a gear pump in the fifth gear extension, the drain plug in the extension is immediatly below it and the pump draws it's oil through a filter above the drain plug an squirts it down the middle of the gearbox main shaft and out through the roller bearings.
