I plan on using Red Line lightweight sock proof oil in my O1E.
It's a good thing it is sock proof. Those can kill a gearbox if it gets in there! LOL

Well I just had the box apart, so no socks in there. Don't think I'll get one through the fill hole. :p

Sorry to bring this one back from the dead but I'm finishing up my swap and have put 2 liters of OEM fluid back in and seems like it could take more. How many liters do the fhn/duk require from dry?
