[Mgs] Overdrive oil

[Charles & Peggy Robinson]

This test is apparently dine on a bench setup..One thing that bothers me 
is that the assembly isn't allowed to heat up, such as it would in the 
running car.  As someone who made a living testing devices and systems, 
I have to cringe when I see tests run that don't approximate the real 
world conditions.

   Also, why would they use 90W gear lube when it's expressly prohibited?
