Re: FW: s10e - ev1 gear case (Kevin Kayden) (Steve Hawkins) A GM friend suggested to me that the gear case lubricant was an aircraft lubricant/fluid, and should be sourced from same.

I am wondering, is it essential that the Tech2 be factory GM and not a clone?  I seem to remember long ago discussions about this, but I'm not sure.  If a clone is acceptable, I might have a chance to get you (Ryan) one to borrow, just for the price of shipping each way.

Maybe it is off-topic, but there was also a specific coolant needed for the S10-EV.  I got a gallon jug of it long ago.  I thought, that's strange, it looks like the label was put on top of another label.  So when I peeled it off, it was a Havoline coolant (IIRC), rebranded as specific to the S10-EV.
I don't know if there might be a "generic" equivalent to the oil?

Subject: Re: s10e - ev1 gear case Hello Steve It is a special oil, and it was discontinued by GM a very long time ago I don't know what kind it is, but this was a topic on the list alsoa very long time ago Going by memory it was like milk and very watery, just touchingit you would not think of it as oil. If its ever figured out I would like to buy some as well Don In a message dated 5/15/2017 9:17:05 A.M.

Hi Don,I hope this finds you well.I recall some discussion with Jeff many years ago that the gear oil from GM was somehow unique or special.Do you recall that conversation?I have to refill a case, and want to ensure I use the correct oil, and can’t seem to find it listed in any of the manuals, which seems odd to me.Thanks,Steve
