I use 40 weight single vis oil. If you live in a cold environment, use 30
weight.
If the trans in noisy use 50 weight. Do not use gear oil or viscosities
beyond 50 wt.
Also I have heard a lot of problems and whine when using multi vis oils.
If it is an overdrive, use only what your manual recomends and pay no
attention to the above.
I once used 175/80R13s, and the wells were pretty well filled, although the
car didnt handle too well. This tire could also be used as a poormans
overdrive.
