AMSOIL sucks in cold temps.

this thread is for 6spd transmissions, not 5speeds.

Amsoil GL-4 in the 6 speed for the last 7k miles, swithched from the DiaQueen. Did not notice a big difference for the DD but at the strip with NLS, huge!!! That Amsoil is great under heavy loads.

I went with the Redline Shockproof Heavy in the T-case and Rear Diff. Also the first time for those. It's a bit thick here in the winter. Smooth as butter once it's warm.

I'd recommend Redline 75w-90 in the rear diff over the shockproof heavy

Why? Have you ran both? What research have you done?

I've used the OEM Diaqueen for the past 60,000 miles. I have the same slight notchiness when cold going into 2nd gear that everyone else is experiencing. I'm going to try the Castrol fluid from MilSpec when it comes time to do the next change.
