Reduction Gear Oil Change - Benefits for Range

[DougWantsALeaf]

Yep, 22s can be had I'm Chicago as well. Debating if it would be worth trying to trade in one of the 19s for a 22 given the higher price in the used car market. The 21/22 model year has improved safety equipment for the S+.

Is there any analysis out there as to whether there is any difference in battery degradation between 18, 19, 20, and 21s? 40 or 62.

@knightmb, you live near Smyrna, & I now see they could be producing more Leafs. Factory humming again? Looks like it, chip shortage be danged. .... My local dealerships were completely out, but now their websites say some '22 models are on a train headed their way. (If the train stops a few miles to the southeast first, it's a chattanooga choo-choo. Don't forget to tip the waitresses.)

Actually, just heard on the news yesterday, it's going to shutdown for 2 weeks due to, you guessed it, "chip shortage".

I admit, I am new here, the thread is interesting but got no time to read all the pages. Can somebody summarize for me what is the change exactly, some specific oil need to be used? I have a 2018 ZE1 Leaf with 43k kilometers on the clock. Should I be doing this?

You can't read the first page (even first post) of this thread? This may be snarky, but you can invest more time than just 3 posts if it's important to you.
I have done this (using Valvoline ULV) and noticed an efficiency bump (in warm weather) on my 2011 Leaf.

I have read the first page of course. I am posting at the end of 26 pages of peoples replies to see if this is a good idea in the end or not with somebody who is familiar with the topic. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

If you start at page 22 you should see most of the conclusions.
