Well, I didn't realize you can actually go there and pick it up. Thought they only dealt with online orders & shipping.

An even better oil is in stock at Red Line in Long Beach - Kendall Three-Star Dino. The best oil for a 915 or earlier P-car trans.

Yep, provided they used Three-Star 80W/90 (Dino), and not Super Three-Star 75W/90 (Synthetic).

Hi Pete!

I tried to find Three-Star dino and kept running into a brick wall, so I just went with Swepco. Maybe you guys will have better luck.


BTW, my clutch is butter soft these days after new pedal and shifter bushings and a change of clutch cable and helper spring. It's a world of difference from when I got the car. The 915 can feel good with a little TLC.

Replacement of the clutch cable can make the most unbelievable difference in the clutch feel that it's actually hard to describe the difference. Equally important is what I've posted on a number of occasions, be sure to use only an o.e.m. cable, never use an after market replacement!
