I am sure a bunch of people will argue with me that switching from gear oil to motor oil is bad. I don't believe any of that. Whats bad is that your grinding the gears every morning, because the thick gear oil flows too slow at cold temps.
Motor oil is thinner and works better in OG 900 5spds. The owner's manual calls for 10-30 or 10 -40(I forget which)
I always use 10-40 in the gearbox, and change it every other year.
I wouldn't waste my money on synthetics or any other expencive oil, just use regular 10-40, and keep it topped off, and changed.
