So I've done some good searching, and have *almost* answered my question, but decided to post and make sure that my reasoning is sound.
I just finished a complete top and bottom end engine build. I'll be breaking in with Royal Purple break in oil this week. Clutch and flywheel are new, otherwise the trans/T-case/rear end are all stock with 136k on them.
I have redline products on order to run in my drivetrain long term, but the trans, and t-case were sitting in a dusty garage, unplugged (open axle holes) and I don't want to waste a good fluid on a (possibly) dirty system.
My question is, is there a cheap GL-4, or even conventional MTF that will be IN STOCK at napa or something that I can run for 500 miles to flush my components, then replace with redline when my shipment arrives? I don't see this being a problem, as the first 500 miles will be driven very gingerly and there will be little heat/stress on the powertrain. I just need a cheap fluid that will lube and then collect any particulates so I can drain and remove them prior to adding my MT-90.
