Default Oil for primary

https://www.thelubricantstore.com/mo...wgI1RKGwGMmuYI

This stuff looks like it would be perfect for the primary and trans.

I just tried a different 30W oil today in primary and like it, so it got me searching 30W oils and came across this.

I tried this stuff for the first time...about 15 years ago and haven't used anything else since..works great, protects great, not too expensive and can get it almost anywhere!

Tried Red line, thought it to be to thin. Amsoil primary to thick.
10w30 bit thin but not bad
10w-40 to thick
ATF to thin but shifts great
SAE30 just right

I learned about F+ on the forums about 5 years ago (didn`t see it at the dealership because I don`t buy a lot of parts, so I had not been to a dealership in a long time).

I tried it, it seems to work fine, not expensive, good bang for the buck.

I use it in all my primaries and transmissions.
