Which fluids?

Hi, what would you recommend as the best (reasonably affordable) fluids to put in the gear box and transfer box?

Ta, Angus.

Which vehicle? My 1984 110 takes ATF in the LT77 gearbox and EP90 in the transfer box. Just regular off-the-shelf stuff at my local motor factors.

ATF in the gearbox, EP90 in the transfer box and diffs while you're at it.

Don't forget the swivels.

Whilst you can use EP90 in them, there is a special swivel grease, which is why I didn't mention them :)

Had a debate here recently about using the grease, couldn't get a straight answer about grease being suitable for my 1984

110, something about the type of upper barings or something, that's why I ended up putting EP90 in until I get a straight answer.

On 110s to '86 they are bushes rather than bearings it seems.

didn't stop me putting grease in mine...

The sachets (STC3435S) are much easier than the bottles.
