One of the “Tips” Nick shared was to add  
4oz of the Lucas Gear Lube additive to the 10oz of regular 80/90 weight Gear oil.

What’s the process of draining the Transmission Fluid on a 2016+ Transmission?

There is a hex bolt at the bottom of the gear case, take it out.  
There is another hex bolt up higher on the case, that is the fill hole

Funny, I may have mentioned this before, but a local Cart shop close to me says he does the same thing on all the carts he services. You know the stuff. It’s in the little stack of plastic gears on the counter. I have to give it a spin every time I am in there.

I haven’t tried it yet, so I don’t like to preach it until I have personal data.

Yup that Lucas oil Display is awesome. I dare anyone NOT to give it a spin! When it’s in front of you 🙂 you can see how it could make a difference. But it is hard to imagine when that gearbox is spinning at 40 miles an hour that will wouldn’t be flying all over and covering every single inc of your gears
