I'm running Amsoil 75W-90 in the Front/Rear Diffs, Transfer Case, & Manual Tranny. No problems what so ever. Shifts much smoother in the winter with this Gear Lube.
I'd say do it!!! Best of Luck

Bob's write-up says he used this Amsoil 80w/90 (AGL-QT), which you can find on the above link for 7.65 / qt

Not to hi-jack the thread, but can you just switch to the synthetic stuff w/o a problem? I know in motor oil there are problems sometimes.
Also, how did y'all get those darn fill and drain plugs off? I think they are 24mm, and I've been PB blastin um, but they are not budging.

Ok, well now I feel better. I was feeling like the govenator says "a girlyman" I tried being nice and asking the plugs to exit the holes, yet they are not listening. I guess it'll be no more Mr. Nice guy and I'll have to break out the Impact wrench and get some replacements just in case!

I changed mine today.
I used Valvoline High performance 80/90 gear oil.
I also put some Nulon addititive in the auto trans as well for the hell of it,& it made quite a differance . I need to get the auto flushed soon as it getting a bit stiff & noisy, but i was amazed how well that stuff works on my tired old transmission.

Don't pay more than $8/qt. for it either.
