Research I did said penrite was a bit iffy to use, I've put it in & it's working fine. No drama at all. What about the fluid level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennox Member 2,586 Member For: 11y 10m 9d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 11/01/14 04:25 AM Share Posted 11/01/14 04:25 AM What's the deal with the gw drum saying on it it's approved for use in the zf then? Have they just decided themselves it's approved with no approval from zf themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
