Range Rover Evoque Axle and Transfer Box Oil Kit

Axle and Transfer Box Oil Kit for the Range Rover Evoque: the correct oils for the front and rear axles and the transfer box or PTU.

A proper service on one of these vehicles is more than oil and a filter. The fuel filter, the air filter and the swivel, axle and transfer box oils are all on the schedule, and they are the ones that get skipped. Every kit here is matched to the engine and lists exactly what is in the box. The Evoque shares its driveline with the Freelander 2, so the power transfer unit and rear coupling faults are the same ones on a smarter car.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 1.5 hours. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.

Which version to buy

OE Supplier is made by the firm that supplies the factory, in its own box rather than a dealer box. Same part, same line, typically 30 to 40 per cent cheaper than the dealer. Premium Aftermarket is a well regarded aftermarket maker that is not the original supplier. Generally good, and we say where the differences are.
