Title: Transfer box oil
Post by: Merlin on March 17, 2006, 17:27:57

In "Haynes" it says use 90 in the transferbox & in the workshop manuel it says use ATF.
I presume the w/shop manuel is right but would loke some other peoples opinions.
It's service time again-Spring is coming :D  :D --Cogs

I will stand corrected, but all the transfer boxes I have done were 90

The gearboxes are atf though, could that be what it means?

Thats what I have always thought as well Hobbit but With Haynes saying ATF I thought it best to check & get the opinion of some people who have serviced recently.--Thanks--Cogs

gearbox is ATF & T box is EP90
for a smoother change use dex 3 ATF which is slightly dearer

Forkarm is right, only the RRC got the B-W box so not as many people are aware of that fact.  I used ep 80x/90 in one for over a year, with an oil additive in it too without problems though.

It's worse than that, the later 4-speed auto box has a different ATF specified than the rest of the transmission, not forgetting the PAS either.
