F+ is great. HD offers a 80W140 for the primary and trans offers better protection in extreme low temps and extreme high. I have been running it in my 2017

So went to AutoZone and O'reilly and neither had Redline or Bel Ray so I'm just going to pick up Formula + tomorrow at the stealership. This thread very useful though as I change my own fluids so will refer back as a refresher on the next chance.

Thanks everyone.

can't go wrong...been used for 15 years in millions of Halreys and 10's of millions of miles...any problems with the compartments it's been used in aren't the fluids fault
