I have had Royal Purple synthetic gear oil in Sophy for 20 years with no issues.

Subject: [T3] Tranny oil

With an obnoxiously warm day coming up I may put the Tranny and engine back
in the Square,  I ordered red line MT 90 GL4 gear oil, which is a 75W90 but
noticed when pouring it in it was rather thin, and it was *ack*  SYNTHETIC!



Ok, this isn't an engine, but any issues with using  a synth?  Will the
syncro's still work properly?  I had thought that GL4 was

Dino by definition, but I guess not..



Thoughts?
