There's been much discussion about gear oil on this and the syncro list, and many folks swear by the SWEPCO 201 gear oil.

The problem I have found here in northeast Florida is finding the product.� This is further compounded by the need for at least 5 quarts of gear oil for the syncro transmission when the product is sold only in gallon containers.

I spoke with the local SWEPCO rep and he'll gladly sell me a case (4-6 gallons?) of the 201 but what can I do with that much oil?� I also checked with the local Porsche dealer but they use only Porsche products.

Anyone have any ideas?

The shop I use when I can't do work myself uses Highpoint 80-85/90 gear oil.� Anyone had experience with this brand?

Thanks, Anthony
