Always good to put what you have in your sig (see mine as an example), or at least in your profile.
Makes it a lot easier to answer questions.

If you have an R380, the 5-speed, you need 2.8 qts of Redline MTL for the main gearbox.

Also, a lot of people complain of problems running platinum plugs in D1's.

 

I run NGK in EVERYTHING. I love them. I'm putting them in the Disco on monday.

BPR6ES

i changed my signature by the way

 

Can somone post how often these check-ups are needed to be done for each item? ie: every 20K- Every oil change?

 

I recently purchased a 95 Disco with 81k. It has the 5 speed. I changed the fluids and put a synthetic ATF in the 5 speed. Is there a service bulletin from Land Rover on using something else? My service manual says to use ATF.

I want this vehicle to last a long time and want to use the proper fluids.

Thanks,

George

 

You should be using MTF in the R380.
Redline MTL is the lube of choice.

Thanks for the input. I will order it and change the transmission oil again.

Check some local speed shops, they often carry Redline.

 

Josh, I saw your sequence of things you do.
I would suggest that you do the Oil change after
you do the intake cleaning and after you run a few bottles of Techron through the engine fuel system, this will remove as much loose dirt as possible.
No need to contaminate your fresh oil with intake contaminents

 

Disco Mike-- what do you think of the Bosch Platinum IR Fusion? (http://www.boschautoparts.com/Vehicl...CAT=SparkPlugs) Would love your input... cheers
