[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 436857, member: 19498"] Not to argue with the consensus but Ive ran both "gear oil" and motor oil in both 5's and 15's. In cold weather like today @ -1 degrees, shifting with the gear type oils feel painful to the trans and is near impossible. I personally don't care for redlines stuff so I'll pass, so Ive been running 10/30 in the 5 for a few years and it works fine. BTW, places like Jegs or Summit sell G4 gear oil for manuals. Regarding the T case there is some info on Advanced adapters website IIRC that suggests many are having good results with 10/30 in their T cases. My bud had almost 400K on his 01 Ram 4x4 diesel and he tows a 32' 5th wheel across country and has never touched the T case. I figure why mess with what works. I will mention your comment about shops trying to convince you your wrong. #1, places like jiffy lube are what they are. Pay $150 for a "gold service" and you get what's coming to you. Seriously, I wouldn't let the likes of a quickie lube, peppy boys or the rest touch a lawn mower. Like anything old or high maint from use or abuse, do it yourself and have a first hand understanding of its workings. [/QUOTE]
