Dear all

Been digginf the web as well as this honorable forum for info regarding alternative fluids for transfer case in my 2009 RRS as well as the rear diff fluid.

Some say to stay with the OEM and some others recomend so many other options.

Point here is, I have no instant acces to a OEM fluid hence, need to atick with any other sudgested alternatve.

What whould you recomende instead of the comercial oil brands to be fillñed in the transfer case? And rear diff as well.

Regards
Ray

I had the same problem and while searching I ran onto info about this product

RAVENOL Transfer Fluid TF-0870

It has specification Land Rover IYK500010 needed for our boxes and it is much cheaper.

I hope this could help,

As far as I am aware, there are a few alternatives but they do not have the long life additives of the genuine stuff. It is fine to use the alternatives just need to change the oil more often. MY12 RRS HSE

I agree with shepp. This is good alternative when original oil is hard to find or not available, but more frequent change is advisable.

Ravenol products can not be found in Mexico.
Which other alternatives would you recomend? It does not matter if I need to change fluid more offten tha normjal but need to find a solution.

do you not have any LandRover dealers ?

I expect you will only change the transfer box oil once, so may as well use genuine LR

For Diffs use Castrol

The only Land Rover dealer available does not supply that fluid neither can order it for me hence need to get any alternative that can be purchased localli.

Dalmat, have You used Ravenol and if you have how often did you change fluid? Tks.

Just to let you know guys, Motul has a Gear 300 LS fluid that is Land Rover aporved for transfer case.
Have filled the case in my vehicle yesterday so will let you know my impresion in this regars, however so far so good.

Motul do some excellent oils, usually far better than the original, just one thing to check is if it has the long life additives. The transfer box can
