    Need one gallon of the spirax s5 ate transaxle oil for the 330.
    Can’t use a 5 gallon pail!
    Any suggestions for a USA based source?
    THANKS!

    Not sure.
    Nearly everything I’ve seen on the subject is quite specific about the S5 version.

    Car and transaxle too valuable to risk any uncertainty.

    For what it's worth, I switched to Red Line MT-90 GL-4, 75W90 in my 330 GTC (same gearbox as your GTS).
    It's the best it's ever shifted in the 152,000 miles I've driven it. It was previously filled with a Valvoline gear oil similar to the Spirax.
    I added the Red Line around 10,000 miles ago and it's great.
    You also need to add the Friction Mod & Break In Additive.
    Hot or cold, it shifts perfectly.

    Thanks for the first hand recommendation.
    I’ll go with the Red Line product.
