Does it drain and spin at high motor speed without the burn smell or just when it agitates? | ||

@Coldspot - It seems to be only after it's been agitating for a bit. Also, Yes, I have a speed selection switch with 6 wash/spin speed combos. | ||

I'm not 100% positive, but since the smell is like burning/hot oil, I would make an educated guess that it's the gearcase getting hot. | ||

85w-140 affect on temps Would the 85w-140 vs 85w-90 gear oil make the gearcase run at higher temps? | ||
