A friend of mine bought at 2000 TJ used and when he changed the tranny oil he
found the same thing.
Interestingly neither my FSM nor the OM list tranny lube change intervals for

No. In fact, I haven't been able to find any online retailers who list it
either.
I figured that I'd pay a visit to one of our local Quaker State oil change
"shops" and see if they knew anything about it. I haven't done any local
searching yet -- since my TJ only has 4600 miles on it.

Re: AX15 vs. NV3550
Found that on my AX15 - 2nd gear was a bit notchy so I replaced the oil at
18,500
(normal oil - no change) and again at 22,000 with dealer oil which cured it
completely.
Schedule B says change every 18K - I think I'll do the next few at 10K as
the oil came
out a bit dirty.
