I will chime in here and state that I do not recommend Redline 90wt synthetic gear oil, the gear oil trumpeted by many.
The above article validated my concerns. I just noticed a lot of gear rattle with that oil, but the article states not for hypoid gear mesh, which our differentials have. Good ol' cheapo Sta-Lube GL4 is a magnificently appropriate lubricant.

I agree and am also going back to StaLube.
I've tried several, and the best shifting my bus ever had was with StaLube GL-4 85W-90.

NAPA usually has it on the shelf.
The GL4 from CRC website:

Indeed. You could stink up the whole neighborhood with that bad boy.
