Royal Purple in Eddie Smith's NHRA race cars are faster than Mobil 1 fills (engine & drivetrain). Thats good enuf for me. Max Gear 75w90 in my diffs. There is less drag w/synthetic in front, I need more brake pedal to stop...

I'm using GM 75-90 synthetic front and rear...the truck originally came with 80-90 dino oil in the front, but I read an old TSB in reference to transfer case issues in colder climates. Seems the autotrak can't overcome the thick viscosity of the dino gear oil and takes a poop (as per the TSB)
