[QUOTE="keigoayam, post: 449673, member: 12593"] I use Castrol SAF-XJ 75W/140(if i am not mistaken...left the bill at home). Actually it is recommended to replace the oil every two years especially if you experience any noise.So i just follow the routine. I found an article saying the benefit of changing the oil: 1)Excellent high temperature, high load performance Maximum protection against wear and noise even at continuous high temperatures, loads and speeds 2)Shear stable Extremely shear stable, ensuring that its excellent properties are retained over very long service periods 3)Reduced operating temperature Under high loads and severe conditions it can reduce axle temperatures which increase life of gears, bearings and seals 4)Low friction Improved axle efficiency offering potential fuel economy improvements [/QUOTE]
