1 Engine, petrol or diesel? Mitsy oil MSL or Castrol GTX2 20w50 for either
2 Gearbox, Castrol VMX or similar
3 Rear diff EPX 80/90 if non LSD, LSX 80/90 if LSD
4 Front diff EPX 80/90

Engine - Anything with a 20W50 or heavier, Penrite or Nulon would be my choice of oil

Gearbox and front diff use the same oil, Castrol VMX is generaly the go

Rear diff - If its like my NG and an LSD use Nulon 80-140 LSD diff oil, if its an open diff, the same stuff as the gearbox and front diff
