the v8 supercars used saf-xa oils in there lsd. so i assume it would be a great oil to use considering the amount of pressure and extreme racing conditons. thats why i asked for opinions. i open to try new oils. cheers slo au xr8.

I only use Penrite HPR 10 engine oil. I've never doen the transmission, so can't offer any recommendations, but when I replaced the diff oil with a synthetic type it started leaking after a few days.
Rang around a few diff places and they all stated that there are two different types of pinion seals, one for synthetic and the other for non-synthetic. It's been a while, and I can't remember exactly which one, but it was a fully synthetic Castrol lubricant.
