And from my experience I can only say that this is
not the case. The box is the same as used in many Nissans, Jaguars and even some Volkswagens! Look it up. It is an off the shelf box used by many other cars where no special oil is prescribed!
To think that the Jatco box

would suddenly need any highly special type of oil, just because the box sits in a Rover does not make any sense, whatsoever!. It is true that Rover specifies the 402, but they also specify a certain engine oil, and that is most likely pure advertising revenue or Royalties or whatever backhand they got. Nothing more.
I have run mine on good quality Dexron III for - I guess 10 years. No problems at all.
Oh, and yes, that is personal experience!
