Thread: Lubricants

Hi Guys,

a 92 Range Rover with borg warner transfer and slugomatic gearbox. I've just been changing all the oils. Other than the 3 billion pumps that "High Capicty" 1 litre oil pump required this was a really simple task.

I was sure everything would be empty 'cos it doesn't drip at all ( bizzare ... a little wet underneath, but not a single drip under it ever). Anyway, everythng was at capacity except the transfer case that I just drained 2litres of stinky gearbox oil from .................................... I thought this was supposed to contain 1.7litres of ATF ?? That's what the manual says ??

Do I need to go buy another bottle of gearbox oil, or is ATF ok to use in the borg warner transfer case

Or neo synthetic Hi vis MVP ATF. (7wt) if you plan on doing a desert trip

I'm hoping the transfer case or slugomatic gives up the ghost at sometime in the next 12months ................... This will give me the excuse to stick a proper gearbox with LT230 in there I've never liked slugomatics!
