Hi Phil, this is what John at Quantium sent me about trans and diff oils. I
couldn't find the Sta-lube in the US but had no problem getting a couple of
quarts of it via Flea Bay from Canada.

For the diffs we found the CRC Sta-lube brand 85W90 is a high quality GL4
spec oil or you can use the Redline 75W90 synthetic (even though it says
GL5).
For the transmissions you might want to switch to the Redline MTL or MT90
spec synthetic oils.
