Give Redline a call. They'll hook you up with the best stuff on the market.

Worth the money if you don't have to change it for 100K, IMHO.

Don't waste your money on a high dollar gear oil. It's all the same stuff. Motor oil is a little different. Go over to Ford and tell them what you are doing. They should sell you 3 quarts of gear oil and a 4 oz. bottle of friction modifier.
