Differential Fluid for 2000 Disco II ?

[Mudquest]

I've found it's a rather simple procedure to change the front, rear, and t-case fluids. Does anyone have any advise as to the type of fluid to use? Is there a real reason why synthetics are better than standard in this case?

No pun intended

I am using Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear Lube LS 75W-90 for my diff's

Thanks - I'll give it a shot. Can't hurt to use the 'good stuff' in an area that takes constant abuse / use. So far, the Rover's worth it. She's only slightly less high-maintenence than some of my worst girlfriends in the past....

Cheers.

Yeah, my girlfriend is complaining saying I give more attention to the LR then to her, he he.

Actually I would think Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear Lube LS 75W-140 would be the better choice. you can read all about it from this link.

Thanks Viper - I'll give it a go this weekend. Your suggestion of the Mobil 1 is great idea.


Cheers.
