I'm not sure why people are recommending against Mobil-1
engine oil for this application.
The Townsend site speaks well of their **experience** with using
Mobil-1 in their garage. Mobil-1 is rated at promoting a gearbox
life in excess of 200,000 miles on their chart. They later switched
to Amsoil (IIRC) but have nothing adverse to say about Mobil-1.
Nor have I seen anything published in the last year that would steer me away from it.
I switched both engine and gearbox to Mobil-1 about 5 k ago
and have experienced no problems or significent differences
in shifting. I did follow the Saab recommendation to half-fill
and flush. I also changed the Mobil-1 again after 3k and found it very "dark" but no metallic particles on the magnet.
A lot of folks are using Amsoil or Royal Purple, but neither are
readily available to me. I do like to stick with a single lubricant
(not changing them) and this simplifys my stock. <grin>

BTW - is anybody else having problems w the Townsend site?
