    I don't think there is anything "special" about it. It's just repackaged Type F fluid.

    The color of a lubricant isn't really an indicator of anything; blue or tan vs. the color of Type F fluid means nothing.

    The fact that Paxta Trac is thicker may be because of some additives over and above any contained within Type F fluid. However, that doesn't necessarily mean it's significantly better than Type F.

    Have you used Paxta Trac fluid? Or are you thinking about using it?

    Yes i have a bottle of the tan and a bottle of the blue. I ran the tan in my sn2000 it gripped so good it made my belt slip and it changed colors in 3 times of running it about 40 miles. I never ran the blue yet I'm scared i just had it rebuilt and upgraded to the vr-4 this past spring.

    Have you considered B&M Trick Shift (the non-synthetic version)? From what I recall, it's considered to be the 'best' choice for a ball-drive blower.

    I think the blue paxta trac is synthetic?
