This looks like a great gear oil!

Right, and your local Chevron distributor can get you a 35# pail (about 5 gallons).

I bought it from a distributor is 1 qt bottles. Had to buy a 12 qt case, but since I figure on changing my gear oil every 15K miles, it won't be an excessive amount. We'll see how it works in my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT transaxle.

It is truly an excellent oil, you guys are very lucky to get it there, can't get it here and I need it desperately due to a ancient design over worked 3 speed on one of my vehicles.

The Delo lube mentioned is primarily for differentials and does not have the proper friction modification for synchronizer assemblies in transaxles.

If you need a good 75W90 that is optmized for manual transaxles, check out our MTL-R.

15,000 mile changes is overkill, but to each his own. I normally run it about 30,000 miles.

Ordered some MTL-R!

It seems that a fluid made specifically for transmissions should be better than a mixed application fluid. Hopefully my O2J will like it.

I ran some SF MTL-R in an 02J.It was by far the best stuff for that VW box.
