Thanks for the input, guys

Question: Why don't people use the recommended 80W90 oil? Is it because people like Redline and Redline doesn't offer that viscosity, or is there another reason?

Did a quick google search on synthetic GL5 80W90 gear oils and found a few other alternatives:

Mobilube HD Plus 80W-90 Gear Lubricant

Some details on different gear and trans oils here

Suggests a GL6 might be even better? I will search for one...

Here we go -- what about this?

Castrol Australia - Manual Transmission Fluid

A paper by Amsoil people might find of interest (not independent, obviously, but still informative)

Thoughts?
