Are these correct.

Going to get my transmission oils changed on my newly acquired 2014 SD4 Freelander. I have looked at the handbook & it tells me I need :

Autobox 7 litres of Nippon AW-1

Transfer unit .75 litres of Castrol BOT 118

Rear diff .7 litres Castrol EPX

Haldex .65 litres Stat oil SL01-301


I am not doing the work a friends son has a garage & he will do it for me, I just need to take the oils/fluids to him.

I know there are a lot of experienced people on here that will know if I have this right. I dont want to book it in & turn up with the wrong stuff.

Looks about right to me. If you are doing a full flush of the autobox, maybe 9 litres are better.

The autobox does hold 7 litres but .....
If you have the machine that connects between the box and oil cooler (transmission specialist will have, general garage unlikely) then probably 7-9litres would be a good estimate.

If you are doing in yourself, you drop the fluid and between a litre and a litre and a half will come out, you refit the drain plug, top up and start the engine and run through the gears. You then repeat the process again and again until the fluid runs clear, this takes between 11-12 litres. You could in theory drop the bottom of the gearbox and drain a lot more fluid, but you still have old fluid trapped in the torque converter, oil cooler and associated pipework. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

The manual is correct. However there are many perfectly good and cheaper alternatives as all you need is a lubricant matching the specifications.
FWIW I used the following Smith & Allan products:
Autobox : Tranguard ATF LV
PTU: Geartech FS 75W-90
Rear Diff: Geartech EP 80w90

And got the Haldex oil & filter from the internet eg

I did mine by dropping the oil from the sump plug then refilling that exact amount then removing the return pipe after the pump and starting the engine, running about 2 litres out and topping up by the same amount removed. Did that 3 times and oil coming out looking new. Ran it up to temperature and checked the level, saves wasting oil and probably quicker. ** make sure you have a new o ring for the oil return pipe**, I was nearly caught out but luckily a Td5 injector washer is identical size and I had a set of them left over from the beloved D2. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Bob, can you confirm which is the return pipe ? the upper one (brown) or the lower one (green).

IIRC the JLR manual diagram (below) may be incorrect but I'm not sure .

With engine coolant the pumped hot coolant goes to the top of the radiator first and returns via the bottom hose.

Don't forget the filter for the Haldex. You can get a proper kit for under £50, which contains everything needed to service a Gen4 Haldex. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. My daily driver.
