What oil for gearboxes

I've heard that the factory oil in the gearboxes isn't really very good. What are you mechanically minded owners changing it over to?

I am assuming you are referring to the differential gears? On my side by side I replaced the factory gear lube with full synthetic 75-140 gear oil. Most differential gear cases require an 80-90wt gear oil. By using a full synthetic gear oil you can use a broader weight lube as the syn products do not get thick in the cold like conventional dino oil does but they still control wear like a thicker oil does and even better under severe conditions.

We use 80w-90w and Arctic Cat had there own oil. But you can use any brand.
