Hi, just before i buy it can anyone confirm this is the right oil for my transfer box? Smith & Allan EP 80w/90 Gear Oil API GL5 5 ltr on eBay (end time 17-Aug-10 18:00:45 BST) or should i be going for something else? cheers
thats for transfer box and also your axles.
if you desides to do the axles at the same time as the t/box you will need about 7 ltrs and that stuff of ebay is a bit expensive. I normally pay 40 quid for 25 ltr drum but then I got 3 fookin sheds to maintain so its easier lolol

aaah BUT monsiuer, nobody actually answered that part of my question, in my usual digressive way i managed to ask the quantity, type, trickyness and also whether i had filled my diffs up enough:doh: i got all the other answers mind I had assumed it was the same oil but cheers for confirming.

Castrol do a gl4/5 which is ok.

I thought it was supposed to be gl4 spec only, and that it is quite important because gl5 damages yellow metals?
I use ep80 gl4 btw
Land Rovers recommendations in the D1 owners handbook is for an oil that meets the spec MIL-L 2105 B, C and D thats GL5
