Default What is your favorite 75W90 oil ?
As other members mentioned....it's almost impossible to find OEM 75W85.

So what is your favorite 75w90 oil?

I am planning to change the MTF with that too as the manual stated API GL5 75W90.......

Not motor oil, it's gear oil for the manual transmission.

i'm replacing my front and rear differentials this weekend as well as my oil.

as far as oil i have been running Castrol Syntec.

for my differentials i have decided i am going to run Royal Purple. the test that has been done to that oil showing how well it lubricants has convinced me to use. hopefully this weekend i can get everything changed out.

any one feel the difference with Royal Purple?

Are the front/rear differentials have different drain/fill holes?
