This past weekend I replaced the gear oil in my syncro's final front drive with Redline MTL synthetic. The vanagon lubrication is now fully synthetic with Redline MTL in the tranny and front drive and Mobil 1 in the engine. I'll keep the list posted with results (hopefully there won't be anything to post and the van will run forever!). I've had Redline MTL in the tranny for 6000 miles now with no detectable seal leakage or degradation in performance. -Mark McCulley '87 syncro Westy
