Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Peerless- Tecumseh, differential gears, speed transaxle


Question
Hi Eric,
I'm David from Australia, have just repaired hydrostatic gearbox model number 6265-P1, also has sticker showing PEERLESS 205-024C TECUMSEH. Also has this number under barcode: 205-024C9174A011. Can you please advise correct oil and amount for this gearbox. It has 2 chambers, I assume they use the same oil? It's a Victa (Australian brand) by Murray.
Regards
David

Here is the manual link:

From the manual, VST/1800 Series. This transaxle incorporates a hydrostatic pump and motor
built into the unit. The prefix letters stand for Variable Speed Transaxle (VST). This
unit contains two separate oil reservoirs, one for the pump and motor containing
airless synthetic oil and the other contains EP90 gear oil for the differential gears. This
unit sealed for life and not serviceable at this time.

See page 62 for the oil levels.
