RE: 120hp Lehman lube

"For the transmissions we are discussing, the manufacturer warranties his product if used according to the book.* Lots of thought, testing*and experience goes into the oil seleection."

Yes I dod consider all that and like I said I had discussions with the oldtimers at the local distributor before I made my choice.

Ralph, I take my tranny's temperature at the inlet and outlet fittings of the heat exchanger. Those fittings are plated steel and they have nice flat surfaces so I feel I am getting consistant readings. I also do a "feel" with my hand on the side of the sump. "Warm to the touch" is my criteria there again after my discussion with the VD (Velvet Drive) guys. I realize that is very subjective but I use it as a reality check.
