Have a peek at page 35 of this http://www.legionlandrover.com/manuales/workshop%20manual%20-%20introduction,%20specs,%20general%20maintenance.pdf the answer is you need lots of EP90 and 20/50 or 10/40 (asda have Mobil semi synthetic at £3 a litre...I've just changed mine...and I'll tell you now many new leaks I have in a few weeks time!!)

Thanks, how many litres of engine oil do you reckon?

Charlieccu · Mar 18, 2010

Around 8 litres if changing air filter bath and filter as well. Plus 7.5 litres of EP90 for diffs, transfer and gearbox. I also went wild and bought some molyslip to nurse the old gears along...esp the O/D!! These chaps seemed reasonable and supersonic delivery!! http://www.crewchiefspitstop.com/

Thanks for that, did you notice a difference once you had used the molyslip?

should be mineral oil for engine not synthetic

so not semi synthetic then just mineral like the old castrol gtx or duckhams
