Gearbox oil for a 109 Series 3 petrol

EP90 in main and transfer boxes on Series 3, also same oil in diffs, front swivels and steering box.

Martin.

EP90

ATF or engine oil only for later gearboxes with oil pumps (but this includes the Series 3 V8 with the LT95 box). For all other Series Landrovers in all gearboxes and diffs and transfer cases and swivels and overdrives and steering boxes and PTOs (have I missed anything?) = EP90. JD

Parking spaces and driveways. ;-)

It's an early series 3 with 2.5 petrol so I'm assuming an LT77 box, so EP90 then. Many thanks for the replies. Greg

I'd be assuming Series III gearbox myself, and a 2.25 petrol unless it's been played with.

?? No Series 3 was ever fitted with either a 2.5l petrol engine nor an LT77 box. All except the V8 had the Series 3 four speed all synchro gearbox, and engines came in 2.25 four cylinder petrol and diesel, three bearing for early production, five bearing for late production, or 2.6 six cylinder petrol or 3.5 V8. If it has a 2.5 it is a modification, and if it has an LT77 five speed it is a modification - and the LT77 DOES take ATF, not EP90, so you need to be sure. JD

EP90.

the only ones with ATF apart from autos are the LT77 and R380 5-speeders, and even they run better on MT75 synthetic.

I thought the LT95 ran on engine oil? one of 'em does.

LT95 does run on engine oil.

Actually, the steering box should be EP80.

LT85 & 95 both use engine oil - which one depeneds on climate.

A typo on my part, sorry, it's a 2.25 recon (I have the bill for it), according to the seller it's a 3 bearing but I'm not sure how to tell.

Now I'm confused, I've heard a lot of people talk about the LT77 as the basic S3 box.

Well it's 4 speed and seems to be all synchro so that's what I think I have, what's it called then?

Greg

Does it make any difference ? (says he having just bought 10l of EP90 to go over the whole vehicle...)

Greg

interesting application - presumably on the grounds that if it can leak out, it can also leak in?

Sounds like it is a standard S3 box = EP90. The LT77 is a five speed box fitted to early 90/110. JD

What was the number of the 'box on the early 110 V8 - the same four speed as the Range Rover? Was it LT95 ?

Stuart

Yes

the 110 v8 had the LT85
