    Yearly or every 20K is what i recommend customers do, oil is cheap rebuilds are not.
    Hi Dazza,

    What is your take on additives added to gear oil that will supposedly coat the gears and reduce friction or wear? Snake oil?

    So can I just say I've been running the ravenol mtf2 in the gearbox now for 5000k or so. I haven't tried any other oils that are MTF2 but this one certainly gives shifting a noticeable boost.

    Maybe the new penrite MTF2 which is much cheaper will do the same, but untried. If it does it's a lot cheaper.

    if my opinion matters... i consider most to be snake oil of some description, i have the same opinion on "fancy" branded oils that claim to do this or that.

    with the exception of AW10 and some of the products Cost Effect Maintenance sell

    Figured as much. Thanks.

    Sent you a PM by the way. If you're not into that kind of stuff, is there a way for me to get a hold of you to discuss off forum inquiries?
