Thanks AD, i allready found it! =) I have changed rear diff oils using epx castrol, but got some problems whit Manual transoil + transfer case

When i try to google castrol mtf9 and trying to find it from finland, no matches. Then i go to castrol finland websites, and add my registernumber they suggest me Castrol Syntrans FE 75W not sure is it correct? ( API GL-4 Ford WSS-M2C200-D2 )

DOT 118 plus 75w90 i cant find anything about it =)


Manual Transmission/Front Differential - Castrol MTF97309, LR Part No. LR006247, 1.9 liters
Transfer Case - BOT 118 PLUS 75W90, 0.75 liters
Haldex - Statoil SL01-301, LR Part no. LR003136, 0.65 liters
Read Differential - Castrol EPX 80W90, LR Part no. LR003156, 0.7 liters

Seems as though MTF9 has been superseded

What would be other option =), Castrol Syntrans Transaxle 75W-90 1L GL-4+ ? ?
What specs it should meet? Price for this is about 22euro / litr, so its allmost same price as uk =)

I did a service today and planned to do manual gearbox, transfer case and diff oil as well (165000kms). My priming pump for the diesel filter change shat itself and had to do the syringe fill to get it going. I realised I didn't have a socket for the gearbox filler bolt so I'm glad I didn't drain it first. I think I will do the drivetrain oils tomorrow once I get a socket to fit.

Anyone know the size of the filler bolt, is it the same size as the drain bolt on the manual trans?

I'm using Castrol Syntrans 75W90 for the transfer and rear diff and Penrite Trans Gear 75W80 semi synthetic for the gearbox

Hi, filler bolt on gearbox is 24mm. I'm pretty sure transfer box/ptu is 13mm.
