   Good reference info, thanks for posting !!   I may also add that the factory did approve using a 75-140 full synthetic diff lube to replace the 80-90 dino oil lube.  I got a clarification on mine before making the switch.

Can you post the Factory Clarification? It would be good to add to the manual.

Actually called them about converting to synthetic oils products and spoke to the service techs. As explained to me the full syn 75-140 is slightly thinner than reg 80-90 wt but holds up much better under heat and extreme wear. They gave there blessing and said it would be better for the machine in the long run. I have called the factory techs on other issues and they have been very helpful.
