that's cheap !
I was in Tamworth last week, and one of the auto parts stores had it on the shelf for $38/l !! 8O
I think the last lot I bought was around $22/l 18-24 months ago.
Hi Guys
Well she got me 3 litres of syntrans from Southern Landrover,had to supply the container and she had to wait for 30mins,then they charged her $45,she wasnt happy.
They dont use the MTF94 any longer,syntrans is now reccomended.
From the prices a couple of you quoted she got a good price.

the Disco1 has the Dex2 in the R380,but not in the Disco2
80/90 is too heavy for the lt230 I have been told.
I got a Valvoline semi synthetic 75/80 for the transfercase/diffs for $34/4L from supercrap and I also got the new Castrol 5w30 Full synthetic for the motor,$45/5L from supercrap.

MTF94 is not that hard to get hold of if you want a 20l drum (~$120) just get your local Caltex/Ampol dealer to look it up. LOcal servo did it for me and had it delivered within 30 min. 8O

This is the oil I was told to use by Mal Story himself. (Manufacturer of the Maxi-Drive)
When flogging the truck in low range with crawler gears the LT230 temps goes right up there to over 90C. So I think with anything lower than 80/90 weight oil would be to light?
yes that is right I have a R380 gearbox in the workshop now from running auto fluid and nothing is fixable. Its wore the front housing from colasped bearing and the layshaft is in 2 pieces.
We have had to change a lot of gearbox oils up here in the NT as people are getting wrong info and are also coming out of mitsy with the wrong oil, and getting chargeda a furtune.
Play it safe and use the Syntrans.:BigThumb::BigThumb:
