Light weight red line. One Quart. Never had a single problem.

I think any synthetic would be fine, but I really like the lightweight redline. I have been using that for about 6 years now. 1 quart. The big thing is to change it out periodically. I change it once during the season and again in the off season when we look it over. Never had any lube related issues, but I have seen some where they never changed the fluid out and cleaned the magnet. More junk running around inside is not a good thing. The magnet is strong,but it will get "full" of stuff if you don't tend to it once in awhile. I also added some good side drain plugs with rare earth magnets to grab as much debris from wear that I can.

is that redline's shockproof you guys are talking about?
i run it in my harley...

Yes. It's the lightweight shock proof gear oil. That stuff clings to the gears great. That's why you can get away with one quart.

I was running the red line shock proof but jerico told us to take it out and use mobil-1 75/90 instead.

I`ve also been using the Redline "light shock" in my Jerico (the blue stuff), I used to fill the trans to the fill plug, but I think I will try 1 quart next fluid change.
I also use Redlines "heavy shock" oil (the pink stuff), in my diff, as mentioned, this stuff clings like crazy! Earlier this year I pulled the diff cover after the car sat over the winter, and there was still oil clinging to the top of the case.
And speaking of Jericos, am I the only guy who has troubles with gear oil seeping out the front? Its not the input shaft seal, i`m guessing it must be from the cluster shaft area. It doesn`t drip onto the ground, but always seems to have a drop sitting at the bottom of the scattershield.Any easy fix?

Yes. It is sticky and slippery at the same time.

I use Torco RTF (racing trans. fluid) in all my manuals, car and truck.
