Texaco N402 for JATCO unit
Hi,
I'm preparing to do an oil change in my JATCO unit. How-To guide suggests using Texaco N402 oil but the closest i can get is an ATF that my local Land Rover dealer uses. Will ATF be ok to use? John |

Please read Crofts comprehensive missive on the subject of JATCO transmission fluids.

I believe it's extremely important to use the right type of oil. My transmission hadn't been changing down very well at times ever since I bought the car, so I had the fluid changed for the correct type a week ago and it feels like a new box, it just takes a slight nudge on the throttle and it changes down straight away. I think somebody must have put the wrong fluid in it previously, because there's no other explanation. I probably should have taken the car back to SMC's in High Wycombe where I bought it, but I wasn't absolutely sure that there was a problem with it until I read the reports on here of how other peoples transmissions behave. The company that changed the fluid said that they have to stock countless different types of transmission fluid because it's very important to use the right one! :lol:

I went to Furrows in Shrewsbury today to get the Mg/Xpower N402 equivelant, I'm finding it very difficult to find real Texaco N402.
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? John |

They know exactly what to supply for the Jatco box and it works out at £22 for 5 litres as far as I can remember. |

If you are still having trouble, the Freelander uses the same JATCO box and the fluid can be purchased at any land Rover Dealer Part No. LNR402

The Rover part No. is VYK 00040 and was £20.70 + VAT from Xpart. (they were out of stock a while back but I know this was corrected) As GG has stated, the Land Rover part No. is LNR 402. By the way, both Xpart and Land Rover probably do stock other fluids as not all models of either make exclusively used Jatco boxes. A number of Japanese cars also have Jatco boxes but unless you know the part Nos. I doubt the fairies behind the spares counters will know of Texaco N402

Priorslee weren't as helpfull as i had hoped, claiming not to know anything about Texaco N402. 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: http://vamotors.lv/saits/eng/226/ATF%20402.html I hadn't made the link betweem N402 and ATF 402 prior to the conversation with the chap from Texaco. John Last edited by salop75; 24th February 2007 at 15:30.. |
