Many of us here on the forum have switched to Redline. I buy the Redline powerpack and it gives me oil for all 3 holes.

Do a search for Redline oil and you will be reading for a week.

I order here online and have it on my doorstep in 3 days.

I use Redline Shockproof Heavy for the transmission. Best I've used yet! If you use Amsoil or Mobil 1 , I would go with 75W140 JMO
