I bought this from Pep Boys about 6 years ago- special closeout, took a few days to get. Total WAG if it would work.
Super cheap, I think I paid about 1.40 per bottle. Just looked in my gearbox, virtually no discernible wear, no bronze particles,
no damage to bronze worm gear whatsoever. This is after 5+ years of moderate use. Oil in box looks like it just came out of bottle.
The oil has a bit of a sulfur smell, but apparently doesn't have the phosphorous? EP additive that kills yellow metals. Who knew?
Bottles were dusty from sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Houston, we have a winner. Sorry the bar code # isn't in focus, it's 21400-56105
