M3W bevel box
Here are some images I took after warming it up prior to changing the oil.

Does anyone know what the additive was that MMC (or Quaife??) put into the early bevel boxes? That is a very good question! It seems from my correspondence with Quaife in July 2014 that the dodgy substance, whatever it was, was installed at the factory without consulting Quaife. The MMC did not wish to discuss it at the time and I strongly doubt that there has been a policy change on that! There must be several people connected with the factory who know the answer. Had a feeling that might be the answer!  Perhaps we need someone undercover at the factory?  Yes - I was trying to give a nudge in that direction!

I'm not easily or usually impressed by additives in general but the testimony of an oil rig engineer persuaded me that this one was different. Later my personal experiences has proved him right. I have ordered a bottle of the transmission variety of this Prolong stuff. Heres hoping the thermocouples will report back a drop in temp. If not its gets flushed ASAP.
