Hi, you need to clean the filter with petrol, this is a pan type filter held on with about 10 small (8mm head) bolts (take the auto box sump off first!). Take the filter off and wash it in petrol.
EP90 (EP80/90) is perfect for the transfer box. And good old ATF for the auto box.
I think there is 7L in the auto box. If you ring you local auto factor they'll have all the info in a book somewhere.
See ya,

I need to change the transmission oil.
Can I ask what everyone on here recommends?
How much oil is needed for a full change?
Is the filter renewable? I asked my local dealer andf the guy there said they weren't a replaceable item.
Second, what oil is best for the transfer box, EP 80/90, or do you have any other recommendations?
Many thanks.
