What oils in gearbox, axle etc
 
What spec oils should I put in my 4x4 Cossie, like the gearbox, transfer case, rear axle and front axle. From what I believe the rear axle cannot have ordinary hypoid oil as it has a LSD and should have special fluid. Can anyone help as it's going in tomorrow for a complete fluid change.

Thanks

Rear diff oil MUST be LSD compliant oil, I use 75/W90.
As to the others not 100% sure, will look through one of my books later and repost for you.
