oils for disco

(1/2) > >>

seph234:
what oils do people use in their disco's ive been on another forum and they sell evo oil for the gearbox and people reckon it improves gearshift etc etc i was just wondering if anybody else uses certain oils in their gearboxes engines etc thanks.  joe

Budgie:
When I did the last gearbox oil change I went for MTF, which is what LR recommend now instead of ATF.
I have a R380 gearbox though, not LT77.  :wink:

seph234:
thanks budgie yes i have swapped my lt77 for an r380 and i havnt changed the oil in the box yet so i was finding out if its worth paying all the money for the evo oils advertised on another forum thanks. joe

drmike:
I put the oils recommended by DIFFLOCK in my Disco with an R380 and it has made things a bit better when changing from first to second say. I'm not totally convinced that it's made things that much better to justify the expense.

After a 2 hour motorway run at 70 the gear changes seem a bit harsher so perhaps when they get hot they're not so great.

I would like to be able to say it's done all the things they claim but mpg just the same, still get the odd crunch into second and as I say when hot I think all gear changes are a bit harsher.

seph234:
thats why i was asking coz i priced it up and it seemed quite a lot for oil as the gearbox/transferbox cans only come in 1litre bottles thanks for letting me know il prob just but some good qaulity oil from my local parts place cheers. joe
