Any cheap 80w90 GL5 non-synthetic is fine.

Oh no, not again

OK, I'll bite. 80/90 weight non-synthetic gear oil, GL5 rated. (5.5 pts)

Perhaps Valvoline HP 80W90

although it's been many, many years, i noticed a bit smoother shifting after replacing whatever the p.o. had in there with redline synthetic. i see online for about $20 / qt. shipped.

I use 90 wt, and change every 10K miles.
