Default Arghh, transmission fluid?!?!

Right, so sorry to ask this, but ive spent the last half hour searching and just got puzzled.
I was 98% sure the mt75 4x4 box ran 75w 90 synth gearbox oil, but then i found this and all got thrown out of the proverbial window

https://passionford.com/forum/techni...arbox-oil.html

So, in a simple answer, what box oil and how much do i need for a 4x4 saff?!

Dan,

You'll need 1.2 litres for the 4x4 gearbox and 0.5 litres for the transfer box.

Transfer box you can use Dexron III ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) in.

Gearbox - there is a specific gear oil called MT75! That's what i've always used
