Gearbox, transfer box, axle oils/fluids

Hi

Could somebody please help me, what would you recommend as the best oils/fluids etc to use in my 1993 Defender 90? I want to drain the oils out of the gearbox, transfer box and both axles/diffs and replace with nice brand new stuff - as I have no idea when it was last done. Details are below:

Gearbox = standard LT77
Transfer box = standard LT230
Front axle/diff = standard 200TDi
Rear axle/diff = fitted from a 300TDi


Also how much oil will I need, how much does each part take to fill up to the correct point? Sorry I'm asking for quite a lot of info here, so I very much appreciate everyones help.

Thank you
Chris

gearbox dexron 2 or 3 atf ,axles, transfer box ep90 or 80w/90

If I was you I would buy a 25 litre drum of 80w/90 from Morris Lubricants as you will use it in the axles and transfer box and its much cheaper that way. The gearbox uses automatic transfer fluid (ATF).

You will need some way to get the oil into the various filler holes. Some people use those pump up garden sprayers but I found that they struggle with the thicker 80w/90 and so I got a 100ml horse syringe off ebay with a length of tubing which I found to be the quickest way to fill the boxes and axles back up.

Easiest way to get the oil in is with and Oilsafe pump, not cheap but excellent and so easy to use.

Thank you everybody for your responses.

Last question is: how much oil does the gearbox, transfer box and axles hold? So how much of each oil (number of ltrs etc) will I need to fill them up?

Thank you for all your help.
