Drained my trans (5sp) after about a year and a half, with about 30k miles
on it's MT 90 Redline.  It was almost new looking..still had the red color
and very little cloudiness. There were just a few shavings on the magnetic
drain plug.  Amazing stuff.

  This time I am trying some Swepco 201 which is a dino oil that many of the
Porsche crowd swear by and also a lot of industrial companies use in their
commercial vehicles.  We shall see how that stuff works in the vanagon.

  I also replaced my fuel filter.  I replaced the line from the tank to the
pump and added a small moto steel inline fuel filter into that section also,
just before the pump.

  Love all that sliding around under the van with gasoline running up my
sleeves.  At least I did remember to borrow a few golf tees for use in
stopping the gas lines....the perfect tool, golf tees..Close as I will
probably ever come to golf..
