The regular user manual says that, but the service manual is what I quoted.

Where did the interval for changing the transmission oil and differential oil come from?? The service manual only lists both as inspection which can't be correct?? I'm corn-fused.

Wonder if there is a PN or name for this magic oil.

Thisis the exact same 5 gallon jug I saw and it had a big P/N on it and dumb me didn't grab it. It's NOT Valvoline though.

Tranny oil = 30,000 miles
Same for the rear differential.

The rear differential is only a quart, so I do it every 15,000, it's easy to change and not expensive.

So let's get a PN for this mystery oil already! I live nowhere near them and want to make sure my stealership has this pil (assuming it is not for private sale, + 1 jug will probably last me longer than the car...)
