does anyone know of a good top quality recommended oil for my tdv8

also going to do the box/diffs and transfer is ther a top notch oil for these

new to the rrs stsble so unsure ta muchly

5w30 fully synthetic oil

Transfer box landrover only really.

Diffs castrol off eBay

any brand 5/30 or best to go mobile1 or millers which Castrol for the diffs thanks

for the diffs. 2 litres to do both of
Castrol Syntrax longlife 75W-90
provided it doesn't have an electric rear diff.

If electric, it will have an electrical connector


For engine oil, people rave about Castrol, but I think its rather over priced.


Transfer box oil. 2 required

That's great I'm doing the box as well going to go for the zf kit from Euro comes with all the oil and new pan they make the box I think so surely that kit should do the job

Get the gearbox flushed rather than doing a traditional oil drop and refill. Flushing gets nearly all of the old oil out whereas the traditional method gets nowhere near. Much of the oil in the gearbox is in the torque converter and this isn't touched when dropping the oil. The flush method pumps oil through the gearbox and so changes the oil in the torque converter too.

Flushing is a bit more expensive than the traditional method but does a much more thorough job.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

There are other ways, like pumping the oil out the oil cooler pipe

but anything that avoids going near the sump (and getting a metal pan to seal) should be considered on a low mileage car.
