Agreed, the lube can cause problems, but I'd be a little spooky about using the 50 weight motor oil. Find a diesel shop or truck stop where they service Fuller Roadranger transmissions, and buy a quantity of "mineral oil" that they use in the Roadranger trannys. it's 85W-140 weight, just like the hypoid lube, but without the super-slippery additives. Hypoid grease in a fuller transmission causes heavy carbon deposits on the synchronizer rings.
