D3 TDV6 Service

[dangermousehouse]

I mean to give my D3 TDV6 a birthday and change all the oils.

I know that some of this may have been covered before, but it would be favourite if I could collect all the following data 'in a oner' to make it easy for me (and potentially others).

So, what oil is used (and LR recommended) in the following

Engine
Front Diff
Gearbox (auto)
Transfer box
Rear Diff (not eDiff)

Also, when I change the oil in the gearbox is it normal to renew the filter? Probably is, but just checking as mine has the 'upgraded' metal pan and I'm not quite sure on the filter arrangement. (If the filter is changed out, where can a replacement be purchased?)

Thanks in advance

Hi Sniegy

Many thanks for this, much appreciated.

Racked up nearly 1/4 of a million kays now and still goes like new!!

Regarding the 'improved' auto sump and filter, is the filter available from LR?

Cheers

PS - Attached is a pic of the D3 after driving the dirt road from Winton to Jundah. Twas a little wetter than anticipated!
Other pic is the result of me 'pushing on' on a bit too quickly when the road dried out

Hi Dangermouse,
Not sure what other dealers stock, some may not even know about the upgrade metal pan kit, which is "aftermarket" so to speak.
We actually buy our kits from A & B automatic transmissions in Dandenong, this also includes the oil for the transmission.

Home

These guys do all the LR refurbishment on the transmissions.
Bill the owner is a landy nut also.
Grant is the best person to speak too, knows his stuff.
Cheers

How do you intend to measure when the gearbox oil is at 35 degrees c when you do the oil change? Also I guess heat the oil going in to 35 degrees so that the correct amount goes in?

I am interested in how this is done away from the dealers.

What's the SG at 35c vs 25c ?

I have no idea - the service specs as I understand them require the oil to be at 35 degrees. Was discussed in another thread that I cannot put my hand on at the moment. I also understand that dealers have the appropriate test equipment that reads the temp straight from the sensors - they drive it until the temp is reached and either top the oil up or change as required.

I have no first hand experience and curious if it a major issue or no as I would like to do a simple drain and refill at my next service and do a mega flush at 96,000km.

If someone knows the "reality" if the above is incorrect then please come in and comment.

PS - Draining the oil is no issue but checking the level is when new fluid is added would seem to be - from the workshop manual.

CAUTION: The gearbox fluid level must only be checked when the temperature of the fluid is between 30 degrees and50 degrees. The fluid level obtained will be incorrect if thereading is outside this temperature range.

So I guess if you heat the oil to 50 degrees before you fill , the temp of the oil in the box should still be within the temp range by the time you get up to the filler hole.
