Hello everybody, does anyone know how to change 2000 Discovery II transfer case fluid? I only see a drain plug at the bottom of t-case cover but I can't see any fill-in plug? Should I remove sensor and fill in oil there? Photos will be greatly appreciated!! : )

 

20 - drain plug
11 - fill plug

I haven't heard of any horror stories yet on these cars, but on transmissions, transfer cases, differentials, etc, I've always been told that it is good practice to open the fill plug first, just to make sure it isn't seized or rounded off or something. That way when you drain it, you know you can fill it back up.

 

Thank you very much! We just changed out front/back differential oils and will to do t-case today!!

Land Rover factory recommend Synthetic gear oil for t-case, can I use Lucas gear oil 80W-90? I live in Las Vegas, summer is extremely HOT here!!

Thanks again for your help : )

 

Use a short 1/2" extension to get to it.The fill plug is on the rear of the transfer case hidden behind the emergency brake cable - the thing shrouded in some silver heat wrap. You can use 80/140 gear oil as well.

just be patient. it's kind of a pain but you can get to it with a 1/2 extension.

 

^^Agreed...1st time I removed mine I chewed up the fill plug pretty good...I had to get a replacement...it was quite a bit easier for me to get to once I went out and purchased a 1/2" wobble extension.
