Todd:
I can only comment on the "worm drive" oil. I have a 203 and have used Blendzall #465 for years. The #460 is for 2 strokes and is mixed with gasoline and burned. It probably would work fine but #465 is formulated for the crankcase of 4 stroke engines. Most speedway riders use Blendzall #465 in their total loss engine lubrication systems. Castrol R40 would also be excellent. Blendzall is more popular because it is cheaper, contains a higher concentration of castor oil than Castrol R and is much more readily available. I get mine from Bill Cody in Garden Grove Ca. Castrol R, once available at any motorcycle shop, is now very difficult to find in the USA. Good luck with your 404.

Subject: [Peugeot-L] 404 Fluids
I would like any and all to weigh in on the subject of fluid
replacements for the 404 Automatique.
I've gleaned from prior postings that the worm gear differential
should take castor based gear oil, and the USA choice is Blendzall
Green label 460 to replace Castrol R60. Any opinion on length of
time beteween fluid replacements?
It also appears by consensus that the brake fluid to replace
Lockheed 55 should be DOT 3.
What I have NOT been able to determine thus far is the replacement
Auto transmission fluid for Shell "Donax". I've looked at BMW sites
as well, as it appears that contemporary BMW 2002 autos also share
the ZF 3HP12 transmission. I happen to have a client who is a sales
rep for Shell lubricants, and alhough she was looking into it did
not know the correct superceding product
Any thoughts?
