Gearbox, diff & transfer box recommendations HERE >

Getting the right oil for gearboxes, diffs and transfer boxes can be tricky, so please ask here if there is any information that you need.

To help us to give the most accurate advice possible we do need some information about your car. e.g.
Make:
Model:
Year:
Manual/Auto:
Performance Modifications:
Driving style: (road / off-road / track etc.)
Any other information that may be relevant: e.g. approx BHP if modified, any transmission problems
What recommendation are you looking for? Gearbox, diffs, limited slip diffs, transfer boxes etc

Any oil we recommend is available to buy from us (if you would like to) for delivery throughout the UK and many destinations Worldwide. We offer a really extensive range of oils and lubricants from 11 major oil manufacturers at prices much lower than the high street and main dealers. We stock oils and fluids that meet pretty much all manufacturers and international specifications. Our brands include, Silkolene, Fuchs, Gulf, Castrol, Motul, Mobil, Millers Oils, Shell, Valvoline, Amsoil and Red Line.

Plus, as the Club is a member of our club discount scheme you can get discounts of at least 10% across our entire range.

To redeem your 10% club discount simply use the following club discount code at the checkout.


Once the code is added at the checkout you will then receive your extra 10% club discount. However this discount code cannot be used in conjunction with other offer codes, BUT the code can be used in conjunction with any of our offers on this page HERE that do not require offer codes.

Any questions please ask here or contact us via email at sales@opiepoils.co.uk

Finally, if there are any products we don't stock and you have difficulty getting hold of elsewhere, let us know and we'll see if we can stock them.

We look forward to being of help!

Cheers
Tim, Opie Oils

Hi

This is ideal for the gearbox.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-68895-fuchs-ti...23614.aspx

The diffs need a 75w-90 GL5 oil.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90-mtf...fluid.aspx

The Fuchs Syn 5, Millers CRX, Red Line 75w-90 GL5, Motul Gear 300 and Gulf Competition are ideal. The Fuchs Sintopoid, Castrol Syntrax Longlife, Millers TRX, Motul Motylgear, Mobil SHC and Gulf Syngear are also good choices.

Sorry, but we can't supply the transfer box fluid.

Cheers

Hi

I would use a good 5w-30 oil.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-653-5w-30.aspx

Fuchs Pro S, Motul 300V and Red Line are the best options, followed by the Castrol Edge, Mobil ESP, Millers EE and XF, Fuchs GT1 and Shell Helix Ultra Extra.

Cheers

Hope Tim doesn't mind me helping out here.

Capacities are 0.6l front, 1.1l rear (non-locking) - not fill to spill. Wink

The locking diff does require a different oil, and IIRC takes 1.5l. Thumbs Up Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

England 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

Hi there

My gearbox on my Range Rover Sport HSE 2007 2.7 TDV6 Auto has began knocking (dropping into first too soon). It has hit the 100,000 mile mark and I am not sure if the oil has been changed since new.

I would like to change the oil and then get the gearbox re-calibrated to see if this fixes the problem. Which is the best oil to use and do you have any instructions on how to change the oil.

Thanks in advance.
