Replacing oil in transfer box (75K)
Just looking at the maintenance checklist which shows the transfer box and locking diff oil should be changed at 75K.
I assume the locking diff oil change refers to the rear optional diff, and that the centre locking diff is within the transfer box and is therefore is covered by the transfer box oil change.
If my assumption is correct is there a guide floating around for this. Goes without mentioning I have done a search to no avail.

Its easy enough to change the transfer box oil
I think its a 10 or 12mm hex socket for the drain and fill bung
Drain oil & refill...I do it with an oil can with a long tube and a piece of copper pipe i can bend into the fill hole

Thanks matt. I've got an oil dispnsing plunger for re-filling in those awkward places. I take it I am correct that the transfer oil and centre locking diff are one of the same oil. Just airing on the side of caution as I thought locking diffs usually required slightly different oil make-up to non locking diffs.

I am not 100% sure but i think the transfer box controls the centre diff so the oil is the same
Its available from Land Rover

The centre diff is in the transfer box
Requires 'special' transfer box oil, which funnily enough, is branded 'special transfer box oil' if you buy it from a dealer.
