At 30k i started to use AMSOIL 0w-30, and flushed the tranny and diff with AMSOIL gear and diff lube. So far so good.

Check the Oil Analysis Thread, sticky I believe in the Engine/Drivetrain area, for good info on oils known to work well with the VQ.

Royal Purple rocks....the oil analysis thread seems to be slanted to dinosaur oils vs: synthetic oils & lubricants
