sweet thanks very much im on doing a spider joint on the front propshaft and i think the shaft will have to come out the transfer box. I take it that 75/90 is ok for the gearbox oil and the front and rear diffs. I wanna get my car all sorted for national day.

use FULLY synthetic 75/90 in every drivetrain component on the 4x4...

both diffs, gearbox, and transfer box.


dont use semi synthetic its shite, and just like the ford oil ,turns to piss with the heat from a tuned cossie

opie oils sells the good stuff
