I've been wanting to get some Swepco 201 myself......
and just can't seem to find a local dealer in oregon here.
if you buy that much ......and have more than you need.....
I'd buy 2 gallons of it from ya.

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
