Group Buy - Swepco 201 - Gear Oil for Aircooled 911s with 915 Transmission
ErikA posted a topic in Tech & Service
I'm canvassing interest in a group buy of Swepco 201 gear oil. It's not available for retail sale in Canada, so I reached out to Swepco and got the contact details for the closest sales rep, who is located in Black Diamond. Before I contact him, and drive out to Black Diamond (probably in the next couple of weeks), I wanted to see if anyone else wants to participate. It comes in 1 gallon jugs and my research indicates the minimum order is usually 2 gallons. The 915's fluid capacity is ~ 3 quarts. Pelican Parts lists it at US$62/gallon, plus $50 ground shipping to Canada I'm hoping the local rep can do a bit better on pricing! https://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/CARE/POR_CARE_swepco_pg2.htm For context, Swepco 201 is claimed by many to be the best gear oil for the 915 transmission. I switched to Redline 75w90NS last season and it is making my LSD bind like crazy in low speed turns. Forum debates rage about custom blends of "slippery" and "non-slippery" Redline, or the use of friction modifiers, but I can't find anyone complaining about Swepco 201! It's safe for use with "yellow metal" synchros and is claimed to improve shifting - see this recommendation from Wayne Dempsey @ Pelican Parts: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/101_Projects_Porsche_911/36-Tranny_Fluid/36-Tranny_Fluid.htm If interested, shoot me a PM or reply below and we can sort out orders and logistics. Alternatively, I can share the rep's details with you via PM, if you prefer.
