[DeTomaso] new owner ZF education time

[Charles Engles]

Dear Mark,


                     Years ago I used  Amsoil synthetic in the ZF.   It was 
OK.   I switched to GL4.   It seems to seep less and shifting is not 
noticeably different.  If it is already in the ZF box and you're just 
changing fluids and "getting acquainted" with your Pantera, then I would 
think that you could drive it without harm until a supply of GL4 becomes 
available.

                                    Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
