I have some Ambra Unitek 10W-40 here that goes in the NH T5, can it go in my DMax?

The API CJ4 and ACEA E9 match

The gear box failures common in Land Rovers were slashed when they introduced a new gear box oil, MTF 94? I don't think I'll be using tractor oil in my LR, but then that's dictated by sentiment, not reason!

Be prepared....she was a drift slut for a while after they dropped like a stone a few years back. She was meant to go for a restoration in March, but obviously didn't happen. Parked in the barn now. I have every receipt of money spent on it down to the original bill of sale. Still has a full BMW service history as well (bar the oil changes by me inbetween times)

If she's been drifted then the engine will need a rebuild. The just bounce them off the limiter all the time!

@Brisel to be honest long term it would benefit from it but didn't get a terrible amount of abuse. But at the minute it's got a real good heart and probably the quietest vanos unit I've heard so will be good for a good few years driving yet.
