They proudly presented me with, MTF 94. :( I explained "its a rover 75 2.5L Auto, AUTO!!!!", "This is what we put in them"

I came away emtpy handed.


Anyone know of somewhere i can order Texaco N402? or is the Land Rover equivelant (ATF something or other) safe to use?

So i contacted Texaco UK (Chevron), a helpfull bloke called Andy explained that nobody calls the oil N402, its known as ATF 402 and is supplied to suppliers in minimum batches of 20 litres. He is going to send me a list of UK suppliers and further information about the oil for the Club.


ATF 402 information here:

I hadn't made the link betweem N402 and AFT 402 prior to the conversation with the chap from Texaco.

I guess it's who you speak to in Priorslee Motor Spares John :(

However, I agree the chap spoke of "402", not N402

Distributor contact details:

North East : James D. Johnson : 0191 5670002

He also provided data sheets on ATF 402 and the manual gearbox oil MTF 94(hopefully attached)

I wonder, could we incorporate this information and the PDF data into the the automatic and manual gearbox oil change club data sheets? We have verbal permission to do so and i suggested that if we did I would get back in contact to allow Texaco final approval, out of courtesy.

What a long Drawn out saga which does make you wonder what Garages are putting in these Boxes on 60K service. Mine should be done now but I think Im going to do it myself instead, to make sure correct Grade oil goes in once I source it.
Thanks Holmes for all the Work!!!
