Sorry to jump in, but the manual states you can only use 5w/30 meeting the Ford WSS-M2C913-B
spec. It is an oil with low high-temp-high-shear viscosity. Puma 110" SW

Hi MK,
EDGE is of the same Formulation, and probably a better oil NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY. NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE ANYWAY

Hi Guy,

Can you please specify oils/fluids for the following:

Defender with Td5 Engine (2.5 5 cylinder 1998-2007)
Defender with Puma Engine (2.4 2007-)

R380 Manual Gearbox (factory recommended oil is Texaco "MTF94") (1998-2007)
LT230 Transfer Gearbox and Axles (factory recommended is 75W-90 GL5) (1998-?)

Can someone fill in the gap for the Puma 6-speed gearbox, and is the LT230 transfer still used on the Pumas?

gearbox uses Castrol BOT 130 (fully synth GL-4), it is 75W/90. Do not use GL-5!. Yes, the LT230Q it`s still used. Puma 110" SW

Had a look on the Castrol website and put the registration in to find the corect oils for the 110. The manual gearbox says SMX -S which is a synthetic 75W-85 gear oil.
I cannot find any trace on the castrol site of BOT130 as stated.
Is this SMX oil the same with a differant name.
