Heh!

I've been involved with dozens of these gear oil threads over the years...

I've already given my recommendation, e.g. what I run in my Honda transaxles.

Whatever you guys decide to run, MAKE SURE IT'S GL-4 RATED GEAR OIL!!!

Specifically, DO NOT USE GL-5 OIL (the easiest one to find). It'll eat your synchros...

If it isn't GL-4, you're rolling the dice!
