Fine metal particles. Many of them. The Peerless(r) transaxle is not a precision instrument.Nothing is hardened, tolerances are loose, metal generating wear is rampant.Getting as many of those particles out as possible is a worthwhile endeavor, and kero or #2 fuel oil is an excellant solvent.
Would adding some 10W-30 do the same thing, thin the gear oil or do we really need a solvent to get all the gunk out? 10W would thin the gear oil, and provide lubrication. -- Mr. Shannon Aldinger
