Coastal Tranny oil is $6.99 PER GALLON. It comes in a 1 gallon container.
If you have some data or inside information that can show SWEPCO is anything but 90W gear oil, I'd love to see it.
okay, thanks for the correction on the Coastal prices.
i don't know why Swepco wouldn't be 90W gear oil since that's what i'm buying.
i do expect it to be REALLY GOOD 90W gear oil, but i suppose if you're changing it twice a year this isn't as big a factor, ( i change mine once a year when i'm not doing track events... ) this is consistent with the factory service interval of 12,000 mi for lubricant quality of 35 years ago.
whatever it is that allows Swepco to achieve its ratings without the high sulphur content is working for me. i've read the technical data on their website and liked (but did not memorise) what i read. it's published there if you're curious. i have no other information other than Mobil-1 and Redline oils have been implicated in high wear rates, and Swepco put an end to that. Maybe the Coastal or Valvoline would have done just as good a job; i donno.
i feel as if i am getting good value for my $40, but if you don't that's fine with me too.
