pretty flexible here. have used many different lubricants. currently running NAPA brand 15W-50 synthetic in both trans and engine, works great, and price is right

consider drill and wire the drains.

Redline 20-50

if you decide to do safety wire.....buy an extra plug so you can do it at your leasure

I have used both M1 15-50 and Red Line 20-50. Both are fine.

I would NOT use HD Syn as the last time I looked, it had no API or JASO rating at all.

the wire is required by all racing organizations, also by several of the track day organizations as well. Keep oil from being accidentally dumped on the track.
