I only run the truck when I am towing or hauling wieght! I am thinking about Royal Purple 85-140. Has anyone else run this? They also have a 75-90. But I think the heavier would be better for my application. Any thoughts?

how cold does it get where your at? how hot? the only reason I put 75-90 in cause Ill be in alaska before the norcal summer hits. If you are going to be towing in 90degree plus weather, put in the 140.

You use the 80-90wt gear oil in the transmission? How is that working out for you? I just replaced whatever was it in when i bought the truck with 5w30W Synthetic motor oil "was told that was the way to go" but not the transmission is very notchy feeling and is having problems with 3rd gear. I even over filled it with 5 quarts.

I went out and got 6qrts of Royal Purple maxgear 75-90. I think I might convert my np205 to the same! What if any synthetic are you guys using in your np205?

have been using the heavy wieght 75W140 or something like that. I put the mag hytec on and used standard oil with the aditive for limited slip. I was going to do synthetic but figure with the drain plug and dip stick its easier to change so I just went with conventional. I used the heaviest stuff in all the diffs and the Tcase. I'm due for a change of fluid. I want to get a maghytec cover for the front diff.
