Default Transaxle fluid change - Amsoil 75w90 API gl-4?

I was planning on changing out the transaxle fluid in the '86 951 but couldn't find the recommended redline mt-90 or swepco 201 in town. I finally found a place that carries Amsoil products and bought 3 quarts of this:



will this stuff work?

Amsoil is suppose to be the best. We have a guy in the local PCA that has a new Twin Turbo and is an Amsoil dealer. Everyone around here is starting to change over to there products for the race cars and street cars. It really is great stuff and you can go longer between oil changes. Talk to a Rep they can really open your eyes about the different product they have. So to answer your question yes it will work.

I recently put in that same bottle into my '86 with LSD, it's better than that Redline or Swepco stuff, you won't be dissapointed...takes 2.7 quarts

Yeah, I know Amsoil makes great products, I switched over to their engine oil a little while back, I was just wondering if this particular product is the right one to put in our transaxles. But yeah, Amsoil = teh awesome.

That gear oil will be fine,
If you track your car I would opt for the severe gear oil. porduct code SVG-QTC.
BTW you should get the hand pump if you dont have one, makes refilling a snap.

Cheers
