i put 15w50 Mobil-1 synthetic oil in the T18 transmission and D20 transfer
case in our 800A.  that seems to have solved the problem for me rather
nicely.  same stuff i put in the engine, as a matter of fact, which
simplifies matters immensely.  i think it was somebody here on the Digest
that suggested that i give it a whirl, and i'm quite satisfied with the
result.  transmission runs cooler and quieter than it did with whatever was
in it before.

my standard nickel.  as with everything i say, take with a grain of salt.
