Source for Kendall NS-MP 80W90? Seems discontinued...
 

Ran it in my old SC. Currently refreshing the 3.2 and noticed Pelican alongside numerous other vendors no longer stock it.

Anyone know if it's gone for good or did/is it getting replaced by something else?

Not looking to devolve into another oil thread. I currently have Swepco in it so yes I know there are other oils to use.

Our host sells Kendall gear lube:

Not the same thing. The LSD additive doesn’t play nice with the synchros in 901, 915, and 930.

Matt,

What are you liking for a street 915 these days?

Thanks

Not the same oil as Matt mentioned.

This is the one I'm looking for and had used previously: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/KENHYP7728.htm?pn=KEN-HYP-7728&srsltid=AfmBOor9iaKzOYGS8UC5V4RCJkUDskWEnB2Gr Pmz8YSxUU_75hpeFKa9

Looks like JEGS has it.

Saw that but site shows one in stock.

The listing on JEG’s website says 80W-90, but the bottle says 75W-90 .Is that the same gear lube?

Same as I’ve said for a long time. Walmart Supertech 80w90 conventional gear oil in the blue jug. It’s made by Mobil. Valvoline and Catsrol also both have conventional oils still.

I recommend Swepco to my racing customers. But I don’t drive it on the street.

For a few years I’ve been posting about the changes to that NS Kendall gear oil. I think it was Phillips who bought them? It changed to semi-synthetic a year or two later. I hadn’t heard it was discontinued, but it might be.

Can you order directly from Kendall? That’s how I get their oil.0

Follow the original Porsche specs for the car, not the updated specs. The uodated specs say a modern semi/fullsynthetic 75W90 or 80W90 GL5 will work. IMO only when the 915 is freshly rebuilt. All worn 915 boxes with several 100's of 1000 miles require old fashioned all mineralic dino oils due to the drag torque they provide to plmake the synchros work.

If the Kendall is NLA what is recommended for the early 911 boxes?
