...is expensive but not really that bad.

Considering if you were to fill with 3 liters of synthetic gear oil, you'd find it ranging from $14 to $20 (valvoline to Royal Purple or Redline).

Given the reports that some owners have not been happy with the aftermarket products, the OEM stuff is not bad, say and extra $15 to $30 for the whole job...not much for something done so infrequently.
