Replace your Transfer Case Oil Peoples!

I was told by BMW that the TC have ATF in them yet mine definately doesn't have ATF in it. Pat

Do the P38 and the L322 take the same transfer case oil ? if so maybe this is a cheaper option.

Comes in 5L containers...doesn't seem to be readily available, best places to obtain it are produce stores /farm supplies/ Mobil depots etc

I used Castrol SAF-XO in my l322 transfer case. It was supplied by the local Landdrover dealer. You can by it by 1 litre containers from the Castrol distributor approx $25-$30 a litre.

Hi Tebone

Castrol SFA-XO recommended for L322 Diffs
Castrol BOT 26 FMB 1 for Transfer case.
Local agent said both were only availabe in 20 lt drums ???

Just having a look through the FFRR forum, on the page on recommended lubricants - Recommended Lubricants - fullfatrr.com Wiki Fairly comprehensive list, also shows a Texaco oil that is suitable for the diffs, but I doubt that would be available here in Aus.

Just a quick one - is there anything special about the power steering fluid & brake fluid in these things? Checked the fluids out today, and they are putrid - need to do the power steering and brake fluid ASAP.

PAS fluid is probably the same as the D2, it's a genuine product. Works much better than other stuff. Brake fluid should be to the same DOT standard at least, up to a point I think higher no's are backward compatible but I know some of the newer ones aren't.
