Hi
I just got a 73' and want to have the tranny oil changed what type are you suppose to use??
Why? Unless you suspect a problem, or you want to look at the drain plug magnet for particles, there's no need to change the gear oil. It doesn't wear out. You MUST use an oil that meets GL5 Specifications, preferably an 80w90 or 80/90/140. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER OIL. Not GL4, not anything with a moly additive, not limited slip additive, not any oil which it covers a range of GL specs. There are synthetics out there, and other oils that meet the specs, but you have to be careful what you buy. If the parts counterman tells you otherwise, treat him like the dummy he is, and go elsewhere. Most VW shops carry GL4, BTW, which you shouldn't use. Works fine in their trannies, but not yours.
