Transfer case oil type?

[Mikeyinsane]

Hi, just wanted what sort of oil spec goes into the transfer case??

I'm pretty sure I used 75w90 Synthetic gear oil from Fruchs (originally Silkolene). - It may depend a little on how hard you drive, and how often you intend to drive it, but I just bought the stuff that said "suitable for fill-for-life applications".

Not ATF fluid if that's what you've been told; that may be suitable for the internals of the viscous coupling, but as it's a sealed unit you shouldn't be touching it.

I'm sure Danny will correct me shortly if I've got this completely wrong.

So can i use it in the rear diff aswell or it just have to be lsd type gear oil??

just check the label if it says suitable for diffs/lds's most are.

i used carlube 75w90 fully synthetic, £20 for 5L

75/90 gearoil, nothing fancy as the diffs are sealed unit so you don't need anything special.
