My 94 disco (226,000 miles) has leaked some gear oil due to a "not so bright previous owner" :mad: and i was wondering what is the best way to add more to the gear box behind the tranny? Is there a specific type of lube I should use? I was thinking of using a "restoring" type, I used before (cant think of the name) but it was quite thick, almost sticky, trying to keep any possible leaks from happening.
Any ideas?

With that mileage, for get adding to it and start working on this service list, I can walk you thru it.
For oil, buy 7 quarts of 75W/140 gear oil and I'll show you how to drain and fill all your stuff.
1 Oil filter, K&N 3001 or Mobil 1- 301
1 Factory air filter

2 Bottles of SeaFoam gas additive
