Title: XJ 2.5TD Gear Box and Diff Oils
Post by: XJ Fan on January 07, 2015, 11:45:24 AM

Morning, I plan to change the gear in my gearbox and diffs in the near future. Digging around, is Redline MT90 the correct oil to use?

Thanks Dutch. Does anyone know how to tell the difference between AX5/AX15 and NV3550 gearboxes?

You have an AX15 unless you have a 2000/2001 model.

It's a 2001; does that = NV3550?

Bump.

I checked Hellfrauds at the weekend, and their literature suggests that GL5 fluid, although makes no distinction between pre and post 2000 models, and I couldn't see any GL3, only GL4 and GL5.

As you can see the NV3500 uses a different oil. When I had mine rebuilt I found out there was a part no for oil...... it worked out cheaper to get the oil from Lighthouse than a dealer.

Part no for oil is 04874464 comes in 1 US quart bottles or 946cc :icon_super:
