    Best Brand & Weight of Oil for both diffs & Transfer Case Disco 1

    Hi,

    Whats the general opinion on the correct oil for the above 1998 D1, I'm running 75/140w fully syn Valvoline all around, might be an over kill?

    I still get the tranny whine around 100km/h, looking for a good oil to try and quieten it down just a bit.

    Cheers

    Jim

    75/140 is probably ok for the diffs in Dubai but a definite overkill for the LT230.
    Put the spec 80/90 in the transfer case and if it still makes excessive noise
    you may have to delve deeper.

    Cheers,
