Swepco is not available in quarts.
Gallons are the smallest container.
My local speed shop has 55 gallon containers and you pump what you need.
Gallons are available at Pelican, Summit and off eBay.

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
