Stay away from the super-slippery synthetic lubes that might not let them do their thing. The Tractor Supply 90 weight mineral oil sounds like the best choice, and it's probably a lot less costly than the fancy Moose Juice to boot! Use it in the transmission only- - - - -it won't have the hypoid lube additives the rear end needs. The 80W-90 would be a better choice there, or any general purpose hypoid gear lube. Jerry
