sjd,

Swepco seems to be a good tranny oil for our transmission. But I think any name brand hypoid 80-90w gear lube should be okay. I think what is important is to use a good brand and change it on a regular schedule. Black goo running in the tranny can't be good for the tranny.

Since Swepco runs about $40-$50 a gallon, a suggestion that I followed was to change the old tranny oil with a regular brand name oil, run it for 200-300 miles and then change that out replacing with Swepco. Then use Swepco as the regular tranny oil when changing it.

I hope that helps.
