Status: offline Mobil 1 15W-50 in the engine- just as good but easier to find (at any Wal Mart) & half the price.

Gearbox- any good gear oil like Mobil, Rotella, Redline Shockproof, etc.

Primary- after trying a half-dozen different oils/lubes, I've found Formula+ works best.

20w50 in the engine. It will work in the primary as well but get a 75w90 GL5 gear oil for the trans. Amsoil makes a 75w90 & 75w110 severe gear that will work better and last longer than the 20w50.
