enough in that can for about 1 billon tranny, doesnt take very much at all. which you only use it on the gears, be careful not to get any in the diff.

i only decided to try it since i had some from doing a bearing job on my full scale, seemed alot smoother and made less noise then any "shock oil, or diff oil", also motor temps went down 3-5 degrees, which isnt much, but better then the other way
You shouldn't be using any oil or grease on the transmission gears( even states that in the old t4 manual). That adds drag. If he is burning up the idler something is binding or not meshing correctly.
