  What I've seen on this (the never ending thread) is that pretty much
*anything* is used with success.  ATF, 5w30-20w50, gearoil, synthetic 50W,
marvel mystery oil, hydraulic oil for tractors, and no doubt someone is
running home-rendered lard in one too.   So maybe try something new and see
what good results you will get too!!! ;)

As a side note, I wonder if this shows the durability (besides the synchros)
of the transmissions????
