Acoording to the viscosities given for these oils the 75W-90 is the thinnest oil.

Look at Redline's super light shockproof oil. It's exactly what you're looking for, as it's half the viscosity of typical gear oils. 8cSt vs. 16cSt.

I just went and checked that out..seems a bit too good to be true, but the cost is decent. I also have a prblem with wanting light gear oil. a one piece dual ranged AWD tranny behind a 90hp boxer. Diff built in

* Film thickness greater than an SAE 75W90, yet low fluid friction like ATF
* Used in low-power dog-ring racing transaxles with moderate to low load, qualifying, etc.
* Popular in British F3, Euro F3 and Star Mazda racing gearboxes for ultra low drag

I do need the so called friction additive for the diff.. I changed a sube trannies fluid just once without it. It does do something important. I wonder if it can be added to redline. Sorry to rob the thread and ignore everybody but myself. gimme gimme gimme
