Any of the modern 75W90 synthetics will work just fine. I personally use Royal Purple as the local NAPA store carries it.

I used the NEO Oil in both my tranny and diff and its great!

The tranny shifted a lot better than whatever was in there.

Any 75w90 synthetic preferably. I usually use Redline or Amsoil because I can get them locally.
