Description
RAVENOL LS 75W-90 is a synthetic API GL-5 + LS gear oil developed specifically for limited-slip differentials and self-locking hypoid gear units. It provides the high-pressure protection needed by the crown wheel and pinion while also delivering the controlled friction behaviour required by compatible limited-slip mechanisms. For Land Rover use, it is the dedicated 75W-90 LS oil in our differential range where the differential manufacturer specifies this viscosity and friction-modified lubricant type.
Dedicated 75W-90 Limited-Slip Differential Oil
A limited-slip differential can place different demands on its lubricant from a conventional open differential. The hypoid gears still need strong extreme-pressure and wear protection, but compatible limited-slip mechanisms also depend on the correct friction characteristics to operate properly. RAVENOL LS 75W-90 combines these requirements with good oxidation stability, corrosion protection, resistance to foaming and a pressure-resistant lubricating film.
This is a specification-led differential oil rather than an oil we recommend simply because an axle has been upgraded. Where a differential specifically requires SAE 75W-90 GL-5 LS lubricant, RAVENOL LS 75W-90 provides the dedicated friction-modified formulation. Differentials specifying 80W-90 LS are covered separately by RAVENOL LS 80W-90.

Fitment Notes
An upgraded differential does not automatically require conventional limited-slip oil. Plate-type LSDs can depend on dedicated friction modifiers, while ATB, helical and locking differentials may have different lubrication requirements. Match the oil to the specification supplied by the differential manufacturer rather than assuming every LSD, ATB or locker uses the same fluid.

See our ATB & Limited Slip Differential Oil section for the full specialist differential range. Where the differential manufacturer specifies mineral 80W-90 LS rather than synthetic 75W-90, use RAVENOL LS 80W-90 Limited Slip Differential Oil.

Ravenol
Ravenol is our main lubricant brand for Land Rover servicing, covering engine oils, manual and automatic gearboxes, transfer boxes, differentials, ACE and power steering, brake fluid, coolant, grease and specialist workshop fluids.
We use Ravenol because the range lets us select the lubricant around the actual engine, gearbox, axle or hydraulic system rather than relying on viscosity alone. The result is a deliberately selected Land Rover range in which every product has a defined job, from TD5 engine oil and R380 MTF-94 to specialist ZF ATF, LT230 oil, limited-slip differential oil and later transfer-box fluids.
Why Twinwoods partners with Ravenol
Ravenol is a genuine German lubricant manufacturer, developing and producing its oils, fluids and greases in Germany. The range is backed by unusually detailed technical data, which matters to us because lubricant choice should be based on much more than the viscosity printed on the bottle.
We use Ravenol in our service kits, recommend it for the Land Rovers we specialise in and use it in vehicles we work on ourselves. More importantly, the range gives us properly specialised products for different engines, gearboxes, transfer boxes, axles and hydraulic systems rather than trying to make one generic lubricant cover everything.
Ravenol oils and fluids for Land Rover
| System | Ravenol products | What matters |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil | VMO, RUP, Turbo-C HDC, TSi, FO, FLJ, VMP, SFE and Formel Extra | Engine, viscosity, specification, emissions equipment and how the vehicle is used |
| Manual gearboxes | MTF-2 / MTF-94 for the R380 and VSG 75W-90 for the Defender Puma MT82 | Gearbox type and complete lubricant specification rather than viscosity alone |
| Automatic gearboxes | ATF 5/4 HP and ATF Dexron III H | ATF 5/4 HP is our specialist choice for the Discovery 2 ZF 4HP gearbox, while Dexron III H covers compatible general ATF duties |
| Transfer boxes | MZG 80W-90 and VSG 75W-90 for the LT230, plus DTF-1 for compatible later active transfer boxes | Transfer box design and the fluid specification required by that particular unit |
| Axles and differentials | EPX 80W-90, VSG 75W-90, RHP 75W-90, LS 75W-90 and LS 80W-90 | Standard, ATB or limited-slip differential design together with the required viscosity and friction characteristics |
| ACE and power steering | SSF and ATF Dexron III H | Hydraulic system and the correct fluid specification |
| Brakes and clutch | DOT 4 LV and DOT 4 | DOT 4 LV is our main brake and clutch fluid, with conventional DOT 4 retained where appropriate |
| Cooling systems | C12+ OAT and C12evo Si-OAT coolant concentrates | Coolant technology, engine and the fluid already in the cooling system |
| Grease | MoS2 Multi-Purpose Grease, LI-86 Bearing & Propshaft Grease and HRG 2 Hot Red Grease | MoS2 for broad workshop and driveline use, LI-86 for bearings and universal joints, and HRG 2 for high-temperature grease duties |
| Workshop fluids | Professional Engine Cleaner and Winter Screenwash Concentrate | Purpose-specific maintenance products alongside the main lubricant range |
More than the correct number on the bottle
Two oils carrying the same viscosity grade can be very different products. Base oil, additive chemistry, volatility, viscosity stability, friction characteristics and manufacturer specifications all affect how a lubricant behaves once it is hot and working inside the component.
That is particularly important with Land Rovers. An R380 gearbox, LT230 transfer box, Rover differential, ZF automatic gearbox and electronically controlled later transfer box all place different demands on their lubricant. We select the Ravenol product around the component itself rather than simply finding the nearest familiar viscosity.
Identify the component
Start with the engine, gearbox, transfer box, differential or hydraulic system being serviced.
Match the specification
Check the complete ACEA, API, GL, manufacturer or transmission-fluid requirement rather than viscosity alone.
Consider vehicle use
Standard servicing, towing, off-road use and highly tuned engines can place very different demands on the lubricant.
Check existing fluid
Coolant, hydraulic fluids and specialist transmission oils should not be mixed simply because their colour or general description appears similar.
Ravenol engine oil
Our Ravenol engine-oil range runs from traditional oils for 200TDI, 300TDI and classic petrol engines through to specialist oils for TD5, Defender Puma TDCI and later Land Rover engines. Ravenol VMO 5W-40 remains our main TD5 recommendation, RUP 5W-40 covers very highly tuned TD5 engines, Turbo-C HDC 15W-40 is our preferred oil for standard 200TDI and 300TDI engines, while FO, FLJ, VMP and SFE cover the relevant later engine and emissions-system requirements.
