I just replaced my Swepco two weeks ago.
I used Valvoline High Performance 80W-90 Gear Oil API GL4 & GL5 bought at Orielleys. My transmission always shifted smoothly but ground a little going into reverse. The transmission now shifts even better, (Toyota like ), with no grinding into reverse. I was fine with the Swepco but couldn't find it locally. |

I follow the good Dr. Evil's advice and go with GL5 rated plain old Dino. Sam's club has a case deal on Castrol Hypoy for 45 bucks.
With regard to quantity...the manual says 2.6 quarts. My transmission was just rebuilt and took nearly 3. |

Guy at autozone wouldn't take no for an answer this morning when I said I wouldn't take syn as an acceptable substitute. I had to walk out mid sentence since he wouldn't stop reading off the computer screen and shut up

I've run Amzoil in mine since the 70's never had a problem.
