What oil?

I have an f150 transmission, and need to know what oil guys are running in it? I know there's quite a few running behind Model A engines.
Thanks, Marty.

Re: What oil?

I use 75-90 gear oil from NAPA. I use it in the transmission, O/D and Banjo rear axle

Re: What oil?

The guy who sold me my F150 gearbox recommended Red Line synthetic SAE70W80. I haven't installed the gearbox yet so cannot make any worthwhile comment.
Cheers,
Gavin

Re: What oil?

I use Redline MT-90 manual transmission oil. This has a better friction coefficient for synchros than regular 90W gear oil.It shifts great hot or cold.

The only downside is I have to pay shipping to get it since no one local sells it.

If I remember, the F-150 trans. takes exactly one quart on refill.

Happy New Year

My service info says 4.5 US pints. Any of the above recomended oils will work well. Do NOT use ATF! I have Mobil 1 75W-90 in mine. Ron W
