I do Mobil1 synthetic 75W90 every 35k for my car and hundreds of s2k customers.

It has proven to take unrelenting abuse and drain out as clean as the day I put it in.

I have also found the magnet is the cleanest when using this fluid over any other.

I have not put LE607 to the test of time on many cars, but I have used it once on my car and it appears to protect just as well.

I have also dumped my clutch at 9k over 1500 times

Tools:

23mm wrench for the fill plug.

24mm OR 15/16 socket for the drain plug.

Is this the interval you use for Tranny too? I tend to have a habit of doing tranny & diff at the same time.
