Grant Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Quick clean and hear box oil change this morning. Also lined up the tubing for my extended intake. Want the filter right behind the light, it's a little close to the block atm. Yet to drive, but hoping the box feels smoother 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtec2011 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 What oil did you use, Honda MTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Nice one, how easy/difficult was it to do? I've been thinking I really ought to do mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 What oil did you use, Honda MTF? Exactly that mate. The land rover stuff is supposed to be the same and you can buy after market stuff, but IMO, it was £36 and I have 800ml left over, so willingly need to buy 2l next time, it's worth it. Nice one, how easy/difficult was it to do? I've been thinking I really ought to do mine.It's easier than engine oil Nick. Little square socket thing and a 17mm just above to fill it up. The only difficulty is refilling, as it's a tight spot. The way I did it, was with a funnel, with an extendable, flexible end, took intake off and went down from that way. Took me less than half hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose to be very good stuff and I got Honda MTF in mine when a changed the gearbox. It still seems very difficult when gearing down for some reason unless I'm being too gentle with my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
