The Ams Oil gear oil seemed to work very well in both the overdrive
transmission and differential, and run cooler than the mineral gear oils. I
also have not had any failures of these components while using this oil,
except one transmission resulting from an engine blowup.
Since Ams Oil seems to be disappearing, I tried the heavy weight Redline oil
in the overdrive transmission last time out. Don't try this.
