Hey Phil,
Thanks for the reply. I bought a case of 30W "non-detergent" last year and see these oils frequently in the auto parts joints. Your point about the M46 is well taken. I had one in a 240 that I bought new and drove for 375K. The ATF was changed at the initial dealer service and never touched again. The gearbox was factory intact when I sold the car, never a problem. As for the M41s, I was told some time ago that the additives in modern oils (detergents) are not good for the ODs. I don't know. You're proof that this might be bunk. I guess I'll keep the 30W in mine since it's been absolutely no trouble.
