I used to use Valvoline because that's what Jack Lawrence recommended. I've moved over to Redline MTL as Jimmy recommended.
And his comment about the pinion bearing is right on. Most common failure is the lock on the pinion nut gives up the ghost and starts to back out. This cause wear and noise and one day, ker-bluey.
Tom Donney has a little video that shows you how to tell if your pinion nut is loose.
