<VV> trans oil

[shortle]

Sorry to disagree with everyone but I will stick with my Sta Lube GL-4 gear oil. As far as getting the old stuff out, I would just suck it out with your pump. You don't need to get it all out (unless there was some type of a catastrophic failure and if so you would drain it all while on the bench) just most. No insults meant to the Amsoil sales people with their 500,000 mile claims. Timothy Shortle in Durango Colorado 81301
