A lot of people think the 90 weight is too heavy or thick but it is very close to a straight 30 or 40 weight motor oil. The viscosity of motor oil and gear oil is measured differently and at different temps. A gear oil has additives and structure that resists the shearing forces between the gear teeth. All TRs came from the factory with this oil and I have used it in customers cars over 40 years. Never a problem. One Healey 3000 had over 976,000 on one rebuild of the overdrive gear box! 90 all the time.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3540" dir="ltr" class=""><span class=""><br class=""></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3540" dir="ltr" class=""><span class="">Barry</span></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3541"><br class=""><br class=""></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3703" style="display: block;"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3702" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" class=""><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3701" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" class=""><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3700" class=""><font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3705" class=""><hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3704" class=""><b class=""><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="">From:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>M&M Hado via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" class="">fot@autox.team.net</a>><br class=""><b class=""><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="">To:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>'Joe Curry' <<a href="mailto:spitlist@cox.net" class="">spitlist@cox.net</a>>;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:FOT@autox.team.net" class="">FOT@autox.team.net</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class=""><b class=""><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="">Sent:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Tuesday, August 21, 2018 1:51 PM<br class=""><b class=""><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="">Subject:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [Fot] D-Type Overdrive Recommended oil<br class=""></font></div><div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3720"><br class=""><div id="yiv6525035276" class=""><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3723" class=""><div class="yiv6525035276WordSection1" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3722"><div class="yiv6525035276MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3721" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: New;"><span class="">Joe,</span></div><div class="yiv6525035276MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3724" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: New;"><span class=""> </span></div><div class="yiv6525035276MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3726" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: New;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534874303161_3725" class="">Not sure if anyone answered you yet but I always use 85-90W GL-4 non-synthetic oil.
