Thread: USA oil recommendations

I know one at least for the USA gearbox oil redline mt 75w-90 gl4
Red Line Synthetic Oil - Gear Oil for Manual Transmissions - MT-90 75W90 GL-4 Gear Oil

If you can get total oil there: Welcome to TOTAL lubricants - The right choice in Lubricants.

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?
