| + | A GL4 spec non synthetic gear oil is recommended. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The problem with using synthetic transmission lubricants is the 'threads' on the inside of the bronze synchro ring are there to 'cut through' the oil film, and the trans uses the lube as a sort of a friction brake. Really slippery lubricants can allow the synchro ring to skate across the film and the gearbox won't 'slow down' quickly enough, causing slower, noisier gear changes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you must use a synthetic, use Royal Purple MAX GEAR (NOT "Synchromesh") 75w90 (140w is not necessary). For the Muncie, 1 quart is all you need. (There was a lot of casting core problems and the fill and drain plug locations migrated during production, which makes the 'fill until it leaks out of the fill hole' problematic.) Overfilling can cause leakage onto the clutch friction surfaces. | ||

| + | *Brad Penn Grade 1 ‘Classic’ Multi-Purpose GL-4 80W-90 | ||
| + | *Sta-Lube GL4 75w90 sold through Napa | ||
| + | *Valvoline in white (not blue) bottle | ||
| + | *Amsoil MTG GL4 75w-90 | ||

| + | ===NV4500=== | ||
| + | [http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/strong-4x4-manual-transmissions-228897.html#post1640041 Reportedly], the NV4500 is VERY finicky when it comes to lubricant. Improper lube has been said to kill a NV4500 in short order. Castrol Syntorq was designed for use in the NV4500 transmission; if you can find Castrol Syntorq LT 75w-85, use it. If you can't, then get the dealership equivalent and keep the receipt so you have a leg to stand on if there's a service issue. According to one source (Dan @ Quad in Roberts, Montana), the proper Amsoil equivalent has given good results. | ||
