Hi,
I want to change all my oils so I know they're all done. Can someone tell me which oils are best for each area? My car is a manual. I keep seeing different oils listed and was hoping for a definitive list!?
Thanks,
Daniel

From LR Handbook Page 270:-
Quote:Technical Data LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS
Recommendations for all climates and
conditions.
Note: Recommended oils are complete in
themselves and additives should not be used.
Note: It is essential to change oil much more
frequently if the vehicle is operated under
severe conditions, especially if deep wading is
carried out.
Engine oil - Petrol vehicles
Use a 5W/30 oil meeting specification ACEA:
A1 or A3, or API, SJ, SL, or SM.
Land Rover WSS-M2C913-B preferred.
Engine oil - Diesel vehicles
Use 5W/30 oil meeting ACEA: B1 or B3.
Main gearbox
Manual: Castrol MTF BOT338
Automatic: Shell ATF M1375.4
Transfer gearbox
All vehicles: Shell TF 0753.
Front differential:
All vehicles: SAF XO.
Rear differential:
Non-locking: SAF XO.
Locking: Castrol SAF Carbon Mod Plus.
Power steering
Texaco Cold Climate PAS fluid.
Brake reservoir
Use Shell DOT4 ESL or a low viscosity DOT4
brake fluid that meets ISO 4925 class 6 and
Land Rover LRES22BF03 requirements.
Windscreen washers
Screen washer fluid.
Engine cooling system
Use Castrol antifreeze SF, with one part
antifreeze to one part water for protection
down to -40°C (-40°F).
Caution: Be aware that different types of
antifreeze are VERY different from each
other; even different types from the same
manufacturer.
The use of non-approved antifreeze will have
an adverse effect on the engine cooling
system and therefore engine durability.

Where do people buy their oils? Or should I just pop to Halfords.... I have a trade card so normally get a good discount on oils.

thanks for that bit of info on the oils - I have 23x1 litre bottles of Castrol SLX 5W-30 used for Audi/VW's and having read the rear of it it says "ACEA A3/B3/B4" which means its good to go for me D3 TDV6 as it says its "B3"
