So what about synthetic gear oil in a transfere case. I see that people like Rovers North recommend it. But others have said things like if you use synthetic you will just get more leaks etc... Looking for people with experience. http://landrover.mrbaileyshistory.net | ||

i switched my 95 to syn throughout the drive line.the leaks are about the same.the operating temp is lower with the syn lube.if it stops leaking,better get it filled back up. | ||

I used syn in my 88RRC and now in my 99D2. It leaks because it is more slippery. If there's a leak that bothers you just fix it! Seals on the the axles and transfer case are relatively easy to replace. (IMHO) I decided to switch after many recomendations and reading this web site: http://www.mobil1.com/index.jsp Also, you replace gear oil less often, so why not use better stuff. More use for your dollar. -John |
