Depends on how often you drive through streams and creeks. If it never sees deep water, I think 5 years is safe.

I live in Arizona and all the local maintenance places (golf courses, golf cart dealers, etc.) all use gear oil because of the extreme heat. It is obviously directly related to your environment. If you have had the recommended oil in for 15 years, go for the norm. Have fun with filling the pan before you install.

thanks Tony.. as far as the pan goes, I guess you speak from expierence huh? someone gave me a thread earlier it showed the cart being jacked up on 4 jackstands.. guess i will give that a go.. if that does not work i will try some foul language, a cold beer and a few buddies... one being my dad..
thanks for the advice... oh yeah.. also a good ol sip of peach shine... if my cart was a gasser i bet i could get it to run great with that stuff..
