i have freelander 2004 KV6 with jatco jf506e transmission.
in RAVE written used land rover ATF402 oil, but in my country this type was very expensive one liter about 45$ , soon i will start to change my gearbox , so need to know which type better to use

NOTE: i but now german oil name I.G.A.T Platin ATF 8000 that is good or not

please give me better type for jatco transmission...

A high spec Dexron 3 will work well in the Jatco box.
I use Carlube ATF-U which is simply a very high quaintly fully synthetic Dlll fluid.

Let me check this type available in my country?
But what about I.G.A.T platin ATF 8000, you have any information about this?

Yes that's want I use. It's brilliant stuff and not expensive here in the UK.

I use it as a flushing fluid in the Jatco before filling with ATF-U. Dexron 2 was used in the Freelander exported to the US as the LR fluid contains some banned substance there. Dexron 3 is basically a much better spec fluid than D2 but meeting the same requirements. So I'd say that Castrol Dexron 3 will be fine.
