Gear oil question
Greetings:
I'm working through DM's major service. I have had a heck of a time finding:
80/90W synthetic gear oil, 85W/140 for HD use
The only full synthetics I can find are 75W/90 and 75W/140
IS there a brand/dealer I should be looking at or is standard (hybrid) gear oil OK?
I can find Castrol and Valvoline, but they are not 'full synthetic'
Thanks for the assistance.

Don't take everything you read on the internet as gospel then drive yourself crazy trying to follow it. Compare what you see with your own research.
The 02' owners handbook - Export calls for "Multigear Texaco 75W/90R or oil to meet API GL5"
First, the Texaco is semi-synthetic, but can be hard to find in the US.
Second, GL5 gear lubes are a dime a dozen, including 85W/140.
