Cos it's a transmission fluid and the diffs and the transfer box are transmission as well... Dexron IID or III which u can put in the R380 is something else....u will not be happy with the 75w90 in the gearbox....i rest my case

All the major oil companies produce an MTF, Land Rover use Texaco MTF94 when it left the factory http://www.texacobaltic.eu/en/products/cars/mtf-94.html
For Amsoil oil AMSOIL - Synthetic Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid (MTF).

Similar to MTF94 which is 75w 80.
Oil that works in gearboxes is not just down to the viscosities.
some stuff works well with the bearings but messes up the syncromesh function.
Some stuff works well with the syncromesh but not the bearings.
The Good stuff is good with both.
LR spent a lot of money with Texaco to come up with something that works.Why not use it - or a CLOSE equivalent if you have to.
