Default auto trans and PS fluid (without breaking the bank!)

Amongst other things, have recently changed auto transmission fluid, as advised on Forum links,ie. the correct way. Plus due to most recent job had to refill and bleed PS system.
The advised fluids given in Manufacturers specs are Texaco N402 for trans, and Dexron 111 type fluid PS unit.
In order to do both tasks I required a minimum of 10 litres.

The cost being quoted by some retailers for 5 litres was mind blowing, in some cases £45/£56

After some searching I discovered this company Rock Oil, which not only detail the recommended Texaco N402 in their specs as you can see, but only cost £56 for 10 Litres.

ATF Premium MV LT71141 Fully Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid Oil 5 litres! £28.99 (Ebay listing number 252457587931)
Rock Oil ATF DIII-MV - Fully-Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid


Introducing the Rock Oil ATF d3-MV which is a fully synthetic, multi-vehicle ATF designed to meet the exact specifications and performance standards required by Land Rover due to the more severe requirements of their automatic transmissions.

ATF DIII-MV is a fully-synthetic, multi-vehicle ATF designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of European, Asian and American vehicles and specifications. ATF DIII-MV also meets the stringent JASO-1A performance standard created by Japanese Automobile Manufacturers due to the more severe requirements of their automatic transmissions.

ATF DIII-MV is suitable for use where the following are recommended:

Manufacturer Specification / Product
Jaguar Shell M1375.4
Land Rover Texaco N402, Shell M1375.4

NB:Rock Oil place their contact number on the can, which is answered by a young lady called Heather, what she doesn't know about synthetic etc oils is not worth knowing!
Any way, thought I would thread it, just in case some members were in the price trap. If there is a cheaper way than mine, would love to hear it...do not mind saving cash!
