What oil do you use?

stefan7n · Jan 18, 2011

I'm trying to find some original oils for the gearbox, the transfer box and the rear diff, but as some of you know it's difficult to get the originals.

Haynes recommends:

Texaco MTF 94 x 2litres Gearbox

Texaco S5 75W90 to API GL5 x 1.1litres IRD (Front Diff)

Texaco 80W90 ETL 7441 to API GL5 x 0.83 litres Rear Diff

So what do you lot used instead?

Regards,
Stefan.

I just went into local motor shop, similar to motorworld, with Haynes manual in hand, I said I would like these oils please, I got gear box, IRD and one other, can't remember which one it was. He brought out his catalogue and said he had two of the three in stock, and one was an alternative, also listed in the Haynes.
Go to a local one and ask mate, I did and I'm happy with them so far.

I'm guessing that he's got a manual, due to asking for MTF.
