Hiya Dave.......

you are of, course, entitled to your opinion.
But if you have an M151-series (or anything else which contains bushes etc
made from phosphor-bronze material, then don't use anything other than a
straight mineral oil. Unless you are happy to rebuild the
transmission/transfer every few thousand miles. And then, when you drain that
Hypoy/EP tranny oil that you believed would be ok, save a glass jar-full of
the oil, complete with its beautiful gold-coloured sheen and then remind
yourself that you "don't believe that this is the case". (:

Kind regards
Castrol ST-90 rules !
