Other day at the FLAPS I purchased what I thought was 85/90 gear oil for my '74 2.0L. After filling the gear case I realized I had picked a bottle of 85/W145. The car has never driven better and is much quieter than it used to be. Seems like my mistake was for the good, but are there any hazards/drawbacks to using this heavier weight oil? So far it has been an improvement.
