Yeah, that's the problem with Swepco......finding it locally.� Nobody in all of northeast Florida
sells the Swepco.� Even the local "premier" Porsche dealer here, actually famous for their race team
(Brumos), doesn't use Swepco.

I have to buy it online.� Paragon in Cali seems to have the best price for the 201 at $47.95 plus much
shipping to the east coast.

Have you changed your tranny oil in the 1000 miles since the rebuild?� If
not, maybe now is the time to get off Redline?
Daryl told moi to change my oil after 1000 miles+- of his rebuild, which I
did from cheap Kendall dino to Swepco 201 after consulting w/� "gears" &
Daryl.� Had to order the Swepco online unless you wanna get from some
snooty Porsche racing place, but Detlef seems to likee.
That said, tranny needs 5 qts, Swepco came in 1 gal jugs, so needed 2 gals
@ $60/ea to top off tranny.

As usual,

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-oiloiloil, better than tirestirestires?
