Thanks if someone can help.

In all seriousness, I'm assuming you've read and been confused on engine oils by this thread ? Best Engine Oil For Puma

First up, is the car still under warranty ?

If so, the g/box needed a specific Castrol oil.
Originally specced as BOT130 I think it's now Castrol BOT 382.

If still under warranty, I'd use the BOT 382, and have e read here Puma trans oil

The t/case and diffs can use whatever 75W-90 GL5 diff fluid that floats your boat, although I'd stick to major brands

Rik130
My Puma is now out of warrenty and I have sorted the engine oil out. Castrol magnatec professional A5 5w-30. I hope its right,Ihave 20l of it. I will look for Bot 382 or Motul Gear300 as suggested in other posts. Only the gearbox and front diff oil needs replacing as rear diff oil was changed with the 5 centre replacements and the transfer box oil was done when the box was replaced, both under warrenty.

It's the right one. Lucky you, in South Africa there is an agreement between LR and Castrol to not sell it to non-stealers. Not even indie workshops can buy it in bulk

What is oil avaliable is equivalant to Castrol BOT130 or 382. Castrol Aust dont import it and my dealer has none and says he has to import it but wasnt very keen to do so. He reckons no one has asked for it because the oil change time was 200k and no one has got there yet.

That 200k was 200,000km. Bit to far for my liking.
