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?

Hi John. There is no equivalent to N402. Don't know who makes MTF 94 but if it is Castrol they replied to me that they do not make a fluid suitable for the Jatco box, period.
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.

Absolutely excellent detective work John. A thank you from all the Auto 75 and ZT owners is in order.

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

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

Keep us posted on this one please John, I can't find a reference to ATF 402 on Texaco site or googling.

Default Moved Post

I have move Johns, Salop75 post containing information regarding ATF 402 and MTF 94 into the How To forum for storage and safe keeping. Data sheets are available in that post.

Central and North West : Bates and Hunt Petroleum : 01743 718111

South West : OJ Williams : 01271 860953

Texco Customer Services : 01793 555702.


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!!!

It does make you wonder what garages use. My local ford dealer reckons MTF94 goes in Rover 75 autoboxes. Wem Motors stuck Gul2805 oil in so its being replaced ASAP.

Thank God MTF94 didn't go in. That's an oil, not a fluid and as you see above is for the manual box.
I am worried about Gul2805 as I don't know what it is and have never heard it mentioned. As you will see from my explanation, at each change you can only get about 2/3 rds out (+-4.5 litres) so some will remain with the 1/3 left in the oilways. http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ons/icon13.gif
