Peter M Posted 6August, 2014 Report Share Posted 6August, 2014 Guys,I bought a box of quart (947ml) bottles of gearbox oil last week and have some surplus oil for sale.http://www.phillips66lubricants.com/brands-products/Single.aspx?pid=248&brand=Kendall+Motor+OilI thought I would give Kendall a go rather than use Swepco 201 after recommendations from Peter Zimmermann.This is one of about a million post on 915 gearbox oil: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/754629-whats-latest-915-gear-oil.htmlYou'll also possibly recognise this guy from his 915 rebuild wiki and his 911 buyers guide.I reckon 10 bucks a bottle (plus postage) will get you as much as you want!(915 refill capacity is just over 3 quarts BTW)PM or call me on 04oh1 742 9one9 if interested.

tazzieman Posted 6August, 2014 Report Share Posted 6August, 2014 Interesting to hear if it the Kendall is noticeably better/worse. I bought some Swepco locally , but haven't got around to putting it in. G'box shifts absolutely fine now on Motul (past 20,000km). If the Swepco is worse you'll all be the first to know ; I have a very sensitive ear for these things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter M Posted 6August, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 6August, 2014 Uncle,I'll put 4 aside for whenever we catch up.Actually if you PM me your address I can drop them off to you on the way home from work as it's not much of a detour at all.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC78 Posted 7August, 2014 Report Share Posted 7August, 2014 So whats the verdict? Will Kendall make my 915 shift as good as my Fiesta?? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 7August, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 7August, 2014 I frankly can't comment as I can't drive my car until the correct front strut inserts turn up next week!Peter Zimmermann impressed me with his book so I am very comfortable with his recommendation. Also like the fact he doesn't appear to have any financial benefit in making this recommendation too.Oh BTW, all my oil sold last night but can recommend Amazon if you want to buy a carton and on-sell the excess.

Caledonian Posted 12November, 2014 Report Share Posted 12November, 2014 I used the Swepco last time which did make a bit of a difference, but to be honest getting the clutch adjustment right after several attempts made the biggest improvement.

Peter M Posted 12November, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 12November, 2014 I'm happy and would buy Kendall gearbox oil again if convenient.I think the above comments are right that a change of oil won't make up for any mechanical maladjustments.
