  I swapped my gear oil from MT-90 to Swepco.   Like it better.  Quieter and
it feels a lot slicker.  It has been the rich guy gear oil of choice in
Porsche Club racing for many years.  I used it in my P-car racer, when I was
still able to race ($) and it dropped my trans temps by almost 25 degrees...

  Cool blue color, too, the 201(?)   My 5sp only takes a few quarts.  It is
slow to pour or pump when it is cool.
