    I agree on the Red Line MT-90; great stuff!

    With respect to oil... Shell Rotella is really popular. I've been using it in my td5 and v8s for years. There was a thread on discoweb.org; someone ran a test with it for a while. When he tore down the engine, it still looked new.

    For diffs and xfer case, I use good 'ole Lucas 80/90wt. I know others do as well. It's a great product. I buy it by the 5 gal.

    You want "MTL", not "MT-90" for the gearbox. MT-90 is too heavy for New Jersey.

    Transfer box and axles, any 75W90 or 80W90 gear oil.

    Engine oil, Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 or Mobil Delvac 1, 5W-40 or Mobil Turbo Diesel Truck, 5W40.

    ok the redline is pretty easy to get........Land rover manual says 75-90 for the transmission......."MTL" is 80-90........

    should i get the 75-90 or the 80-90?

    that will sort my transmission.......

    as far as transfer box and differentials it sounds like any good 75-90 gl-5 oil will do?

    thanks again guys....

    redline makes a 75/90 gl-5 gear oil as well.....

    think this will be ok for both differentials and transfer box?

    Castrol Manual BOT328.
    It is a 75W90 Fully Synthetic GL4 Gear oil.
    MB # 001-989-51-03-10 Trans Oil at $29.30/L

    this is what you must use in the gearbox, readily available in your part of the world.

    the transfer box must use a full synthetic 75w90 trans oil,

    and engine oil must meet ford duratorq specs for your climate, the 5w30 viscosity Pennzoil Ultra Full Synthetic Motor Oil - Pennzoil should meet these req.
