hi i have a 300 tdi defender 90 daft question time were do you fill transfer box and gear box up with oil and is ep90 ok any piccies please
 
transfer box is by the handbrake drum and gearbox is drivers side of the box there is a big bolt thats the drain and a star key above for the filler/level plug bit of a pain !
 
To change all my oils in a 1997 110 300tdi CSW....

Main Gearbox (R380) ATF Dexron II 2.67 litres

Transfer Gearbox... Hypoid gear oil EP 80w-90 2.8 litres

Front axle.....Hypoid gear oil EP 80w-90 1.7 litres

Rear axle......Hypoid gear oil EP 80w-90 2.26 litres

Swivel pin housing....Hypoid gear oil EP 80w-90 .35 litres

This is what the manual recommends.......

The slightly later TD5 has an R380 gear box but it has slight alterations and uses MTF94.

Take the filler plugs out first before the drains... just in case the fillers are seized. You will need a filler bottle with a length of as wide as you can get tubing.... they are a tw@t to fill up...... but what a difference to the drive! May as well do the axles while you are there... they are easier
