[6pack] HVDA and antifreeze - two questions

[Bob Danielson]

Rick,
I'd change the anti-freeze every couple of years. It's easy and cheap enough
to do. I've been using the premixed 50/50 blend. $10/gal and Wal-Mart or $8
at Sam's.

Herman's directions state the following gear oils as preferred: Redline 75W,
Valvoline GL5 80/90W, Kendall 75W. And in bold he says Under No
Circumstances Use Synthetic Oils. After 5 years, it can't hurt to change it.

Antifreeze -
I put "Prestone" in 1997 (I got my 1972 TR6 in 1996).
In 2000 I fixed my heater and put new antifreeze too.
Now its 2008!  Is this a good time to put new antifreeze in?
Is "Peak" use?  Went do I need to put new antifreeze in?
2 years? 5 years?..... each year?
 
Gear oil -
I got my HVDA in 2003. I used "Pennzoil"(?) for my gear oil, GL-4, 75W, no
synthetic (I can't remember?).
When do I change my Toyota gear oil?
Should I use a synthetic (Redline MTL)?
