Sorry for saying this way, but, besides looking into the Handbook on pages 177-178, handbook that you must have (and if not you can find it here: http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic10621.html ), you can also use the search feature of the forum, type in "fluid specifications" and you can find this topic: http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic8852.html , where in the 8th post you can find what you want.

Hi,

I have had a look into the handbook and found those specs. Are the requirements really so tight that I have to stick to the genuine fluids?? I guess there are decent after marked alternatives that are up to the job to??

The important rule is the EXACT specs, not the brand. You may be able to find Statoil equivalents. You have a premium vehicle which cost you more than a basic Ford or whatever. Don't compromise it by using the wrong fluids. #Just saying.

Email Miller Oils, I did and got this

Thank you for coming back to me with the info and the oils that you now need are. Gearbox TRX SYNTH 75W/80 2ltrs, Transferbox TRX SYNTH 75W/90 0.75ltrs, Rear Differential TRX SYNTH 75W/90 0.75ltrs. The front differential is from the Transaxle manual gearbox. Please note do not use the 75w/90 for the gearbox you must use the 75w/80 as you will not be able to select the gears if you use a 75w/90 grade and I know it seems a bit of a inconvenience in having to buy two gear oils but it is down to the design of the gearbox and for fuel economy. Take no notice of the antifoaming BOT oil as all gear oils have anti foam additive otherwise the oils would be all over the place. They try to frighten people into taking the car into the main dealers and pay through the nose for something which they think is special and it is not. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
