Differential & Transfer Box Fluid Change

[callin]

Coming up on 80k miles, looking to change both diffs and the transfer box fluids. Seems to me from watching videos on YT it's pretty straight forward - any tips or tricks? Bottle pumps or large syringe work well for getting the new fluids in?

Also from the D3/D4 workshop manual (for the V8) I have the following fluids specs - are these the same for SCv6?

- Transfer gearbox oil - Shell TF 0753 1.5 litres (2.64 pints)
- Front differential oil - Castrol SAF-XO 0.56 litres (1 pints)
- Rear differential oil (EL) - Castrol SAF Carbon Mod Plus 1.72 litres (3.03 pints)

Hey @callin ... do you have the document titled : L319 Discovery 4 SDV6-SCV6 Workshop Manual MY2013-2015.pdf

 

[callin]

I do not. The manual I have does not cover the later models with the SC V6, only the 2.7, 4.0 and the 4.4. For anything I need specifically different I would go to Topix to find it

Hi. Could you tell me as well what fluids are recommended for mine: And how can I find it on my own?

I just bought it with 57k miles and 90 days of limited warranty from Autonation. It appears rear dif oil was never replaced, when every 5 years needed.
