Great site needs some info on my 2003 Discovery.

1. What type lube do you recomended for the transfer case. Type and weight.
2.What type lube for front and rear end. Also it was serviced 68000 miles should I change or just add.. I do not no what they used in past.
3. the U joints on the shafts have lube nipples what type grease? Lithium?

(Also I get some slack in the drive line if I let off on the gas then give it gas is this common? Speeds below 50mph do I really notice with the ac off..I am a new owner and not familiar with it yet. All Recomended services have been done at land rover books stamped,one owner, has83000 miles its Automatic. Never off road....Yet)

Welcome to the forum.
Full synthetic gear lube is recommended.
For the gear lube I use 85W-140 in both diffs and the t-case. If I were you I would just top off and then replace it at 100,000 miles and then every 50k after that, unless you do a lot of wading.
I change both diffs on my truck every spring after I go wading.
As far as grease goes, any good automotive grease will work. I use "Green Stuff", you can buy it at AutoZone and Tractor Supply Company.
That driveline slack is normal. The t-case is gear driven and as they wear you get slack.
Grease the u-joints at every oil change.
Check the diffs, transmission and t-case every 6 months.
Any more questions? Everyone on here is more than willing to help.
