I have been running a generic GL5 oil for the first 500 miles as a break in oil for my diff and R & P.

Once warmed up, the oil i'm now using is fine, but I want to go with something that creates a little better shifting when cold.

Any suggestions? All I hear about on the Nabisco site is some cocktail which I have no interest in using, Motul 75-90 and factory fill Subaru Extra-S which can only be had in 5 gallons. ( I need 5 quarts, not gallons).

Thanks,
Paul
