yes i noticed that i guess its the closest to the spec but some companies have a spec that cover several spec i guess give the spec to suppliers and see what they have in stock. their online supplier should find a match |

I cant find it on wiki. Will the lubricants be the same on a 4.4 V8?

I replaced the transfer box oil and oil in both diffs today in my 4.2 S/C.

Planning to do mine in the next couple of weeks as well... Have the FFRR for about a month now and so far no complaints but will conduct some preventive maintenance soon. Next to the diff's will tackle the gearbox as well... Better safe then sorry and also curious to how the fluids look like since I do not know if they have been changed before. Mike.

Just had mine done as part of last service, even though according to the service sheet it's a 10 year interval item.

Jr............for the Diffs just use a good 75w90 API GL-5 oil, like.......Triple QX EP 75w90 Transmission Fluid Fully Synthetic 1 Litre (1L) API GL-4 GL-5.......you can ge this for less than £8 a litre........dont get too hung up on the make of oil its whats inside that counts just check the label |

FYI the transfer box seems to have a marker that works out when it's at 100% life, mines showing 80% currently but I wouldn't bet on it being totally right and I reckon only 2 or 3 diagnostic tools can reset that number FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
