Geggle June 19, 2014 for Model Number TAWX400RQ0 Is the Gear box oil for whirlpool estate washer tawx400RQ0 a detergent or non detergent or does it matter? I have to add some (spilled most of it checking gear case out for damage). I have some Super S 80W-90 GL-5 Gear oil that I used in Tiller gear box, and if I can, I will use it in the washer.
1 Answer Hello Geggle, The only gearcase oil 6-0560800 we can recommend is what the manufacturer recommends. Be aware that many gearcases, (transmissions), have plastic gears and things in there and petroleum based lubricants can do more damage than good. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Jerry. Sorry, you will need to contact the manufacturer for that information. We do not have access to it. Thank you. Read More...
David October 20, 2013 for Model Number flxe52rbs8 There is a plug like a lawn mower engine has for draining oil on the top half of the transmission. Can I add oil to that or check to see how much oil is in there with that?
1 Answer Hello David, You can check the oil level from there but the only time oil has to be added is when the gearcase is drained for service reasons. Read More...
1 Answer Rex, The only way to put the gear case oil in the transmission you have to pull the top cover of the transmission. Read More...

Lynn December 28, 2012 for Model Number LAT8435AAE I have noticed an oily residue around my washer for several months and now realize I have a transmission leak. I am assuming this is from the lower seal going bad. If I purchase and replace the lower seal can I add oil to the transmission on my washer? I am reading that some transmissions cannot have the oil replaced. My washer is 16 years old, but has otherwise been reliable and if I can fix it I would like to try. Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide
1 Answer Hello Lynn, Yes you can add oil to transmission. The oil useage is between 13 and 15 oz. The lower seal would be the most likely cause but you may also look at the lower transmission shaft to ensure that it is in good shape as well. Read More...
