--- Quote from: "CNorman" ---Budgie, as far as i am aware Landrover do not say to use MTF94 in the 300tdi's.

I spoke to webbers landrover in basingstoke and they said to stick to ATF and that MTF94 should only be used in later TD5's and freelandersa etc.

There's a LR tech bulitin about that says to change to MTF for the 300 - thats the info the MoD changed the policy for WOLF on other wise it would have stayed the same - we always do what the manufacturer says, so they said change to MTF for the 300 and we did................

In fact, thinking about it, it on LRA, hang on, I'll go find it.......

Here it is.......

TECHNICAL BULLETIN N O : 0007 ISSUE: 2 PAGE: 1 OF 2
ENGLISH
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
MODEL/DERIVATIVE: Bulletin N o : 0007
Range Rover
Discovery / New Discovery
CDS. ref: L8462bu
Issue: 2
Defender Date: 29.03.2000
Freelander

AFFECTED RANGE:
All R380 manual gearbox derivatives - refer to text for specific change points
All Freelander

RE - ISSUE INFORMATION:
Incorrect specification reference deleted from PARTS INFORMATION.
Please destroy your existing copy and replace with this Issue 2.

PROBLEM:
GEARBOX OIL - CHANGE TO SPECIFICATION

CAUSE:
At the following VINs, the original oil fill specification for the R380 gearbox was
changed to Texaco MTF94 high performance oil:
Range Rover - WA 384300
Discovery - WA 752315
Defender - WA 131138
New Discovery - All vehicles
The Freelander PG1 gearbox has used the new oil since introduction of the model.

ACTION:
MTF94 will be recognised by its orange/honey colour as opposed to the red
Dexron II oil previously used, and is now available from Land Rover Parts.
It is now the only oil which should be used for topping up and complete fill on
R380/PG1 gearbox applications.
The new oil is compatible with the old and to enable earlier vehicles to benefit from
its introduction, should be used retrospectively on vehicles prior to the above VINs
for all top up and refill requirements.
Refer to PARTS INFORMATIONoverleaf for details.
Until further notice, current Service Schedule gearbox oil change periods are
retained and must be adhered to.
 

And there you have it - R380 (as fitted to 300TDi's) - MTF..............

CNorman:
Stageonesimmo and budgie, thank you very much for that information.

I have had MTF 94 sitting on the shelf for over 6 months and it was not even cheap!

Will get aroundf to doing that.

Thanks alto, that has really helped me out!
