How To Change Transfer Case Fluid on Land Rover Discovery 4 LR4

Today, I'll demonstrate replacing the long-overdue transfer case fluid in our Land Rover Discovery 4 LR4. 🤦‍♂️ The oil appears ancient, with no service record, likely spanning 260,000 km or 161,000 miles! 😳

However, when I checked the fluid condition on my Discovery 4, I was shocked to see how dirty and dark it was. 😲 It looked nothing like the fresh fluid that I bought, which is a synthetic gear oil from RAVENOL a GL5MTI specification. I decided to drain and refill the transfer case fluid as soon as possible, and I’m glad I did.

In this video, I’ll walk you through the steps of changing the transfer case fluid on a Land Rover Discovery 4 / LR4, including the tools and materials you’ll need, the drain and fill plugs location, and the torque settings. I’ll also compare the old and new fluid, and show you why it's important to change it.

I hope you find this video helpful and informative.
