    Yeah, I used 2.5 gal of 50w Super S brand synthetic,and a gal of Lucas synthetic, for insurance against the Super S, Lol. Also because the Moron who put the trans in left the plug out, and almost ruined my new trans. Served me well for 9 yrs. 1 million. Changed it again last summer, just 50w, Mobil synthetic, no Lucas this time.

    B02D4873-28BD-4E39-81E3-FB21AFB07261.png I used a gallon of this in each rear. Along with 5 gal pail of 85-140 synthetic Super S. 7 gallons total, is just enough for both. I haven’t changed it in over a million miles. Still looks new. Though I’m sure it’s a little too thick for wintertime. It may be the reason they’ve lasted over 2 million miles.
