Thread: LT95 Oil choice hlp

The LT95 gearbox and transfer case uses engine oil - as low as 10w up to 50W - whatever I am getting for the engine at the time goes in the gearbox.

ty for reply gary but....... What? 10-50 ? first number second number both numbers?
the rep in shop says 20w-50 engine oil too thick and i wont be able to change gear he is recommending the same as what i use in my 4 stroke mower 10w-30.
the gearbox oil equivalent to 10w-30 4 stroke oil is 75w-90 anyone know anything bout this pls post I never thought the add was true but Oils aint Oils

Hi omnibus,

Have a look through "The Good Oil" section, perhaps starting with this thread. I've had a quick look myself and I can't find anything specific to the LT95, but I'm sure it will be there.

20W 50 is fine and is recommended by LR. Anything thicker when hot is not fine in my experience as I once tried Penrite 20-60 and could not change gear when hot.

Use 10W - 40 or 20w-50 (sorry for the confusion - ie no longer than 10 at the bottom end and 50 at the top end). Then manual says to use engine oil - some posters will come along with alternative suggestions that work as well but the specification is engine oil.

With the LT95 is it easy - engine oil for the engine, gearbox and tfr case (and in my case for the O/D as well) - you cannot get simpler than that.

The gear change is fine and you only need to carry one grade of oil for the lot.

Do not use gear box oil - apparently there are issues with it causing damage to bushes or something.

you guys are awesome I am going to go happy medium with 15w -40 as i am in qld where it is hot anyway
ty all for reply video and photos coming and a bit of a speal on how it all went in for the next poor person that has to do this job

there was supposed to be a page from manual that has the recommended oils for the vehicle but didnt work

Always 20-50 in my experience I use castrol GTX 2 and its the best I have found so far.
If you go too thin it will leak like a sieve

Huh?
You are more needful of thicker oil in the hot climes by golly.
That would be the 20W-50 not the very very BY JINGO thinner 15W-40.
