Failed to Deliver: Poor Performance

This automotive motor oil failed to perform up to the standards promised by the manufacturer. While it may have been affordable, the inferior quality leaves much to be desired.

Pros
  • Affordable
Cons
  • Poor Performance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, suitable for gear oils

Used in my 1979 911 transmission - couldn't get it from my local Porsche dealer or auto parts store. Great product, works great (helps shift smoothly) - recommended for 70's and 80's Porsche cars.

Pros
  • Adhesive/cohesion for lifting action
Cons
  • Doubtful

The best manual transmission oil I have found.

I have researched many gear oils. This came highly recommended and I agree with the other recommendations. My transmission shifts better and runs with less cooling on Swepco 201. It's more expensive than the "medium" oil, but worth the extra cost for its superior performance.

Pros
  • Antiwear and EP (Extreme Pressure) Additives
Cons
  • Not effective
