Anyone ever heard of or used Swepco lubricants? My dad is looking at becoming a distributor and I haven't ever heard of that brand. Most of their marketing is toward commercial applications (semis, heavy equipment, etc), but they claim to be a favored oil in some SCCA and other road racing classes, especially in older Porches.

I use Swepco 212 in my Porsche Gearbox. It's pretty expensive compared to everyday gear oil but I immediately felt a difference in how the car shifted. I won't use any other brand.

We use it in our vintage corvettes (400hp & 600hp) works better then redline. Better wear on gears and the trans go longer before needing rebuilding. So yes I recommend it. Oh and we also use it in our other play cars just because.
