Transfer Case Oil

Hi,

The 120 000km service is due on my 2008 Pajero.

So this includes the transfer case oil change.

The owners manual states GL-4 SAE 75W-85 or 75W-90

The Mercedes dealership (Rola Somerset West)say that they use Mobilube GX-A for all the Pajero transfer cases. I looked at the spec, and it is GL-4 SAE 80W.

Any ideas if this will be okay? They say that it has always been used by the Mercedes dealerships that service Mitsubishi as well.

As far as I know, Mitsubishi Paarden Island use Caltex Easyshift SAE 75W90.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Greg

Greg,
I use Castrol Syntrans/Multivehicle which is exactly what the manual recommends as you noted
The owners manual states GL-4 SAE 75W-85 or 75W-90
