Default good tip on lucas gear oil: thks. forum

just put 4k on E. G.,I putharley oil in at 1K, I was having a little trouble getting it into neutral and running in fifth on 55mph roads I was getting a little whine. and didn't want to run in sixth below 2500. so after reading about lucas oil in the forum I put 30 oz. of lucassyntc.75-90 and 2oz. of the syntc. additive in. Man what a change! No more whine at 55 , and it pops right into netural. also seems to shift better. thanks again forum pros.

I got the same results with Mobile 1 75/90 syn gear oil. I don't think the brand matters much.
