One of the phenomena about our LBCs is the that everybody has his/her own idea about the fluids to use in the things. Seem like the factory manual has to be superseded by "facts." So, the factory manual says to use engine oil in the transmission & overdrive? Nuts! Folklore sez that ain't right! Let's put (fill in the blanks) in it! Sheesh, I can remember when there was a long thread on this list about whether to use detergent oil in the gearbox or not. Someone came up with the bright idea that the detergents would harm the synchros. Me, I figure that the engineers who designed the gearbox might know what lube to use in it and they said so in the manual. My gearbox/overdrive has Castrol 20W50 in it. Been running that way for many years. OOPS! I'm now using Valvoline Racing oil in the engine for the ZDDP content. Yikes! Maybe I ought to replace the oil in the tranny!(?) And so it goes..........
