Why are you using different oils in the diff and box Nodge?
Thought they were both the same grade of oil?

England 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

I bought what forum sponsor Opie Oils listed for the D3. The diffs use 75w90 full synthetic, this is the Motul Gear 300. The manual box uses a 75w80 full synthetic, hence the Fuchs Sintofluid. Wink Freelander SE 2005 Auto.

It is, although I think it's fairly widely acknowledged that it's just a very expensive 75W-90 gear oil in plain packaging labeled, "Special" Transfer Box Oil. Rolling Eyes

Transfer box oil seems a lot thinner to me than 75/90. I paid £23 a litre for the Special Land Rover stuff in cheap looking packaging, and £12 litre for Syntrax 75/90 so that's only about £16-£17 difference to put the proper stuff in the transfer box. Not much in the overall scheme of filter and oil costs when changing the lot Thumbs Up D4 GS 12MY
