Subject:      The great gear oil debate - a question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I just opened up the Swepco site since I was curious, and it's been a few
years since I changed gear oil (time flies).  The debate seems to center on
whether one should use GL-5, or Swepco gear oil.  According to the Swepco
site, ALL of their various gear oils ARE GL-5.

I am not trying to extend the debate here, but I am curious.

I live in Phoenix, so cold weather performance is of limited importance to
me.  I think I've only started the van below 40F once or twice since 1985.
