I have Swepco 201 in tranny but with seep in rear main seals need to top it off.
With cost of Swepco as only available (to me) in gallons, thinking of topping off with some other gear oil in quart bottle. Ok to use an 80W-90 oil rated at GL5 (differential) and GL-4 (non-sync manual trans)? I’m skeptical.  |

The newest packaging is soft bags with a tapered plastic tip.
At first, I didn't like them but for under the car work, on your back, on a creeper, they work great! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Valvoline-Flex-F...BiABEgIhnvD_BwE |
