Re: [DMCForum] Synthetic 20W-50 motor oil for the tranny?

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx>]

i think 80 weight to 20 is quite a stretch.  I don't know if the
transmission fluid gets hot enough to "get" to 50 weight..

I would leave 20W50 for what it's supposed to be used for... hot running
or hot weather engines.
