Transfer box and gearbox oil change

Today I fill up the gearbox LT77 and Transfer box LT230 with oil. There loads of different opinions on what oil to use so please comment if you have an opinion.

Hi, I like your channel thank you for making the time to share your experiences, btw MTF94 is better for the LT77, the use of ATF was a BL “Bodge” to get around baulky changes with traditional gear oil when cold, when Texaco developed MTF94 for use with the R380, it was also certified for the LT77, a Tech Bulletin was sent around the LR Dealerships, (I have a copy somewhere….) informing them, but somehow the use of ATF has persisted.. I once spoke to Ken Tomlinson he was a BL engineer who built all the LT77 boxes for Tony Pond’s Rally TR7, he told me the best oil was actually Motul Gear300, however it is a bit pricy for my pocket, I have been using Smith & Allan MTF94 for years, it gives a smooth gear change stone cold or red hot after towing.

Thanks so much for that I will change mine over the next time I do an oil change as you probably know I’ve only just done it in a new box. Many thanks for watching my channel.
