Just noticed a discussion on the subaruvanagon list about tranny oil, as follows:

"Redline no longer recommends their products for hypoid gears, making it
completely unsuitable for Vanagon/T3 transaxles. So its Swepco 201 or 210, depending on your engine/power level." 

The fact that Redline changed their formulation on the MT-90 synthetic oil was recently confirmed by a tranny expert (at BBTB in January).� The new recommendation is Kendall 75-90 Synthetic (which IS a hypoid gear oil) with a change recommended every 2 years.� Sounds good to me.� My tranny (196,000 miles) currently has MT-90, coming up on the 2 year change this summer, at which time I'll move to Kendall 75-90 as recommended.

Kinda wondering how long these trannys last?� Guess it all depends on how it was driven; and I'm Mr. Gentle with mine, I'm in no big hurry.
