I was going to take apart the transmission on my '92 Talon TSi AWD to fix an issue where it pops out of 1st gear, but for a number of reasons I have to put that off for a while, from a few weeks to several months, next spring at the latest. Meanwhile I drained its oil, along with the t-case oil, which had been there for well over 10 years, to drop it to replace a worn out clutch.
Now everything's back in and I need to replace the oil in both, but it seems like a shame to put in high-quality oil only to replace it yet again fairly soon (I bought 3 qts of Mitsubishi gear oil for the trans and 1 qt of Redline MT-85 75W85 for the t-case). So I'm looking for cheap but decent oil that I can use in both in the interim. I came across these two and was wondering if either would work:
Carquest EP 90 GL-4 Gear Oil
Ultra1plus SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil, API GL-4
I don't race or do anything too intense with the car, just a fun DD, and we're probably talking several hundred to thousand miles. Of these two I prefer the Carquest only because it's really cheap, $12 for a gallon at Advance Auto with a 25% coupon.
