IN a standard trans, no problem
NO WAY in an overdrive should you use anything but engine oil, according to
both the manuals then and now, Moss, and Volvo, who use the same OD
The synthetics and extra additives that may seem like such a good idea
actually make the OD clutches TOO lubricated, causing serious slippage and
eventual failure.
The additive packages and low-temp thickening properties of 80w/90 gear oil
make it unsuitable as well
Sometimes it's just best not to try to be too creative.
