the heavy  oil.



Correct.  90W GL-4 is the stuff.  Many who are far more  knowledgeable than I 
highly recommend the 30W Non Detergent.  Apprently the  detergent oils foam a 
bit.  
I put 30W ND in my newly rebuilt tranny and OD and as is my habit I change  
oil within the first few hundred miles on anything rebuilt.  When I drained  
the 30W is ran far too thin for my liking so I went back to 90W.  I live in  FL 
and it is hot so my oil situation may be different than someone who lives in  
cooler climates.
