Yeah for you FLB! YES, CAT and JD use OIL in the transfer cases, and your right, our little trannys will last a L-O-N-G time with GOOD oil ,,,just to add a bit,,moly does not adhere to FIBER! (clutch plates). I've NEVER had a clutch slip till it was WORN OUT! Respects still Renne

SJ "approved" doesn't mean much in the "real" oil business world. Like I said, "respects on what you choose to use" but Shell and Mobile have an lotta $ behind the're marketing. Like Amsoil,,,throw a dead cat in any direction and you hit hit an AMSOIL marketer. For my money, it's the industrial lubricant companies, Schaeffer, Whitmore, DuBois and a handfull of others that bear the weight of performance, especially on giant mining equipment and military applications where there are NO margins! I understand and like the Schaeffer synth/dino blend. I've tried em all,,,,,I like the company! Still,,respects, (really)! Renne

Ok, cats outta the bag, I'm a Schaeffer oil rep, nuff said, I would NOT suggest any 15/40 Diesel oil for any "gas" engine period. They are NOT formulated for GAS folks, they're formulated for DIESEL! I've run Schaeffer 20/50 Racing oil in my street rods, customs and all my bikes. I've been riding over 50 years. I've owned HD's, Yamaha's, Hondas, Triumphs, BSA's, Ariels, Nortons, Bultacos (2 strokes), Royal Enfields, and a host of others, (1938 Areo) yes and even a Vincent! Go to http://www.Schaefferoil.com. Tech data sheets and MSDS sheets are available for your viewing. I just purchased an "08" (off the floor NEW) Venture, I like it, I just ckicked 600mi and of course, time for the "first" lube,,,, Schaeffer 20/50 and 80/90 gear lube in the diff. Rode about 100 clicks and reduced my rear "whine" significantly!....That's it from me! Respects on whatever you decide to use, as for me, well ?,,,,need more info,,,,lemmeno Renne

I just completed my conversion last night with the FLT's, I made my own brackets, (I have a metal shop) They sound just fine! A nice tone at hwy speed and a distinct "CRACK" when you "throttle on". Not annoying at all and a far cry from the OEM's! "Kick stand up, Rubber down" Renne
