Re: Paul? 200 85

> M46??? Use ATF Type F, but light synthetic gear oil is preferred.

What's this mean? Synthetic 80W90? Have you tried this?

My '90 had Mobil1 10W30 installed by the PO in the M47. Shifts nice.

I'm having delayed o/d in my '84 & '86. Synthetic Type F doesn't exist, and even Dino Type F is getting hard to find. I don't think Fords have used it since the mid-'80's.

A respected Brick mechanic of my acquaintance uses Castrol dino 20W50 in his M46's. His prime driver has over 400k without rebuilding the o/d, and still goes into o/d nicely.

Recommendations for M46's are all over the place... Syn gear oil, Redline MTL, thick dino oil, thin syn motor oil.

So which is it?
