Check the prices on Ebay. Sometimes they have good deals on Redline.=20
I'm not sure what all the fuss is about how much to put in. My dip stick ha=
s a high and low mark. I just fill to the high mark. Am I missing something=
?
Also I don't think the gear box will get hot enough to cause much expansion=
. Multi grade oils are most efficient when engines are heating up from cold=
 (needing the lower weight) to hot when lower weight oil will be to thin. M=
ost multi grades have detergent which will foam with agitation and keep deb=
ris in suspension as apposed to allowing it to drown out of harms way. This=
 debris is an abrasive which causes gear wear. This being from lecture note=
s taken 30 years ago and oils may have changed.
