LJB, Thanks for the info. I did speak with Evonne at Red-Line the other day and she told me that her spec. sheet stated 73-77 gearboxes should use 75-90NS and 78-83 should use MTL. Nat Erikson of Erikson Industries, Old Saybrook, CT., rebuilders of SAAB gearboxes, told me that 10W-30 motor oil is fine. I don't know the year of my gearbox, but it is a chain-drive. On Monday I am going to call Dave, the tech. at Red-Line to find out more. I guess my main question is, do the gear-drive units call for the heavier 75-90NS, while the later units call for the lighter MTL (10W-30)? Also, what was the first year for the chain-drive gearbox? I'll let you know if I find any more information on this. I don't mean to make a big deal out of this, but I just want to be sure I'm using the oil which gives best performance in regards to ease of shifting, especially in cold weather, and most of all give proper lubrication so that the gearbox has a long life.
Jon
