    3. transfer case oil.

    Many Thanks in advance.

    The Salisbury generates a lot of heat due to being a low pinion set up. Rover diffs don't have as much sliding between teeth, so don't run as hot.
    Yes, engine oil for gearbox and transfer. If you use anything else, be prepared for very expensive repairs.

    Hi,
    I'm quite interested to know the theory behind this statement and do civilian county defenders with LT95 take engine oil for trans and transfer too?

    Hi Labrado,
    Yes the civillian LT95 equipped vehicles, be it a 110, 109, 101 or Rangie, all use engine oil, or occasionally ATF. As I understand it, the oil pump uses gears that don't last very long when used with heavier oils as usually specced for gearboxes. I'm happy to admit that i don't have the knowledge of some other members when it comes to oils and gearboxes, but a few have had problems, one 101 owner recently had a gearbox problem that came down to the oil used.
    You may do a search in the Isuzu section, the military forward control section, RRC and the Defender sections for more info.

    It's not a theory, it's a stated fact.
    I've been there as have many others. You can learn from our experience or confirm our findings.
    The LT95 transfer case gears are shimmed on the shaft. The thicker oils don't get into the oil grooves of the shims, the shims get hot and burn, melt.
    The common fix up is to run a tapered bearing kit through the transfer case. Your friends ex military would more than likely have the tapered bearing kit in it. It may be able to handle gear oil but, will you risk it? Would he risk it?
    Let us know what you decide and how you go.
