Gearbox Oil - LT77 Box

[tonfre]

Hi,
I was looking into checking and topping up my gearbox oil on my 'M' series fitted with a Rover V8 with a LT77 gearbox. The problem is that on doing some research that there are several different oils recommended by different people, including the following:

- Castrol SMX (Fully Synethic)
- Castrol TQF
- EP80
- Dexron III ATF

Does anyone know what is most appropriate for the LT77 Rover gearbox?

Cheers,

Tony.

Thanks for the recommend. I have also been looking round the web and found a number of suggestions for both Redline MTL and Castrol SMX.

I wondered what the difference was and had anyone had any experience of using these oil?

Thanks.

Thanks for all the advice and I have also been looking at some old threads on Piston heads. Well I have finally decided to go with Castrol SMX (Fully Synethic). I have ordered some yesterday and will let you know how things go.



Cheers,



Tony.

Just to say I have now filled the gearbox with Castrol SMX and completed a short run and all is excellent. Gear change feels better epically in going into first.

Thanks for all your help.
Tony.
