You can use Syn 3 if you want- it won't hurt anything but it's awful expensive oil to be putting in a gearbox.
Go to Wal Mart & get a quart of any gear oil, dino or synthetic, in 75W-90, 85W-140, etc. and you'll be good to go. I know a lot of folks with Harleys who run Valvoline Durablend synthetic blend gear oil, as well as Super Tech full synthetic gear oil, either of which runs about $4 a quart at Wally World.
Or you can drop $8 a quart (or more) for Mobil 1 gear oil at an auto parts store. Won't do any better in your tranny than the $4 stuff, but for some folks mo' money = mo' betta.

Redline Heavy Shock.....Only oil I'll ever use. Long story but I ran 2500 miles with only about an ounce in tranny thanks to tech dumping out but not refilling. Runs great!!

Agree 100%, but I doubt he'll find anywhere that stocks it on the shelves on a Sunday...
