- Have followed gear lube threads and now that everyone knows how to get it in the transmission some other thoughts: I'm trying to get exact specs but I think I remember from somewhere that 80-90 weigh

- Everything you say is correct and I have official Castrol bulletins to suppport it but I am curious why you appear to dismiss 80W/90 for overdrive equipped cars. The MGB GT V8 manual in fact specifi

- What I've heard is that EP additives used in gear oils don't get along well with with older-style overdrives. Kinda makes sense to me, as EP additives do some chemical hocus-pocus that effectively sa
