Someone told me if I use new synthetic transmission oil in my teener, I might get seal leaks because it is thinner than the recommended 90 oil.
Any thoughts on this? |

Double check that Valvoline. If it says limited slip it's not right. I just did the SWEPCO thing and had awful shifting results. It's way too slick for the syncros to work properly. You need hypoid GL5 gear oil. Carquest sells by the gallon cheap.
