Land Rover Series Truck: Gearbox/Transmission, Transfer box and differentials oil change how to!!

Following on from my last video where I changed the engine and air filter oil. I changed the well overdue oil from both front and rear differentials, gearbox and transfer case. I explain what oil I used and oil quantities. Hope you enjoy the video and find it useful. Please like and subscribe and leave me a comment. Cheers Jamie

Thanks a lot for this: I am about to do the same on an old resto / fixer-upper Here on KZN South Coast. EP 90 in Diffs and swivels too. Ill take a look at your other vids as well. Cheers.

Hi Jamie, greetings from Lieto. I really like your videos, top work. As I also own a land rover series I have a few tips and tricks. Always loosen the fill plug before the drain plug, because its hard to fill the oil afterwards if can't get the fill plug open. I would also change oils in the front hubs/swivel housings oil, steering box and steering relay. Series 3 109'' have a stronger rear axle, its called a salisbury type diff. The front are a rover type diff. Best regards, Jonas

Hi Jonas, Nice to hear from you and thanks so much for your kind comment. Really good points you made and information. I mentioned the filler plug but I had only just realized it was a good idea while doing the last one on the diffs😁 I will look into changing all you have mentioned with the hubs and steering etc. I also learnt today that its a good idea to clean the pressure relief valves in the diffs and gearbox. I'm new to these Land Rovers and really enjoying learning about them. I heard you had a Land Rover and I will have to come and visit. Take care and hope to see you soon. Jamie

Good job done, great you’ve got the original manual 👍

[@jamiedowson6482]

2.5 litres will be for a rebuilt box which is dry thats why you could only fit 2.3 in and there might of been a bit of variation in the bottles. As long as your on level ground and fill until it comes out your fine. I bought a series 3 truck around April last year and the oils were some of the first jobs that i carried out.

[@jamiedowson6482]

Thank you for your comment. Yes its always nice to change all the fluids on a new purchase. Especially when there is no way of knowing when they were last changed. Jamie

Great video, can you tell me what size the copper washers are?

[@jamiedowson6482]

Really glad that you liked it and found it useful. Sorry but I don't know. I have a pack of them In various sizes.

[@trundlebug9377]

Running the engine isn't going to do much to warm up the tranfer case or diffs. It might warm up the gearbox a bit since parts are spinning but not that much. Taking the vehicle on a short drive (10-20 minutes) will warm up the trans and transfer case.

[@jamiedowson6482]

Yes you're completely right and realized after I had thought about it. I let it drain for a while and change regularly. Defiantly more regularly than it has been 😂 Jamie

u should have put a magnet in there it does a great job

[@jamiedowson6482]

Also been thinking of doing a transplant to different engine.

u should have a magnet on that drain plug

Unfortunately they didn't have them on this year models I believe. Jamie

I do love that old manual, did the car come with any history ?

[@jamiedowson6482]

It's super cool and think quite hard to find. Luckily I didn't have to look for it as was given too me. I'm actually going to get the history of the car. I actually met a previous owner last week that is a customer. I didn't know he had owned it. Was also featured in an advert many years ago and looked exactly how it does now 😊

[@getthebrewsin6258]

@@jamiedowson6482 good to hear, hopefully the history will go back some years. I love all that
