Just out of curiosity... If you use the Amsoil in the Primary and the Trans why not in the engine? Especially the 20W50 stuff you are using in the Primary, same stuff that you could use in the engine. Based on partially using Amsoil products it doesn't appear that you are an Amsoil hater or anything. Again, just curious.
In my opinion, because I change the engine oil more than the others, I'd rather go w/the $10/quart stuff than the $15/quart stuff and thought I'd read where the Mobil-1 is every bit as good as the Amsoil in a crankcase of an internal combustion engine.
I go w/the Amsoil where the oil doesn't get changed as often.
Does that make sense? (dollars & cents!)
Thanks for pointing that out.

I went through my supply of Shockproof Heavy and switched back to Mobil1 75w-90. I can't tell the difference. I tried all the usual syns in the primary but likewise I now pour the cheapest Auto Zone 20w50 I can find in there. Again can't tell the difference. I use Mobil 1 products in the crank.

Redline Shockproof Heavy gear oil. It is 100% synthetic, been using it in my harleys for years. Stuff is #1 in my book.

I'm trying Spectro Heavy Duty Platinum 6-speed Transmission Oil 75w/140 this time around. I figure if Baker recommends it and ships it with all their transmissions it must be half decent.
Been using Red Line HD Shock Proof which worked well. Man that stuff stinks when you drain it out and let it sit in a container in your garage over night.
