dont they have a catalogue? they are bloody useless!
I think I use castrol epx 80/90 (might be just 90) in my gearbox, transfer and diffs.

they had a castrol book but it didn't have a listing and because it wasn't in the castrol book they couldn't help me
don't the transfer and gearbox use the same oil?

now you know what oil you need. write it under your bonnet with a perm marker, incl oil filter details etc .. saves remembering
