I've been using that in mine for 20K miles now. It slowed the leak down.

I thought you were supposed to use 75-90? Is the 85-140 better?

Yes... just the massive increase in shock loading properties alone is worth the switch.

I guess i'll have to switch then, especially if it will help my leaky pinion. Would the 75-140 be better for the initial cold flow?
