Getrag 360 proper oil change.

Postby 762frmafr » Sun Jun 07, 2015 10:14 am

Getting ready for a 3300 mile round trip in the old first gen. I change the oil in the Getrag today. Only about 1 quart of fluid came out of it. I put in 4 quarts of 5w20 synthetic plus 1 quart of Lucas Full synthetic oil additive. It's amazing what the proper amount of fluid will do to quiet things down. That is all. Just an observation.

I pull the shifter every time. Easiest way to fill it.
