What vehicles is this oil suitable for?

This oil is suitable for manual transmissions, differentials (including limited slip differentials), and transfer cases. Always consult your vehicle's manual to confirm compatibility.

What is the recommended change interval?

Refer to your vehicle's manual for the recommended change interval. The extended drain capability of this oil may allow for longer intervals.
