Re: synthetic oil?

[TeriAnn Wakeman <twakeman@cruzers.com>]

My TR3A runs Redline 75A90 in the diff, Redline MTL in the gearbox and 
Castrol 30 wt in the engine (which has a leaky front seal).  Oils are 
changed at factory recommended intervals (3K mi for the engine). 
Clearances in the TR3 engine were designed for optimal lubrication with 
30 wt so that's what I'm using.

I do not use synthetics in the Land Rover. Factory recommended gear oil 
change is 12K miles and there are 6 different 90 wt reservoirs.  
Prolonged deep wading (about 2 feet deep or greater) often results in 
water in the 90 wt so oil changes sometimes come a lot more frequently.

Instead I used Power Punch gear additive with molibdium.  It helps quiet 
down noisy gears.
