Townsend has studied this and posted mean failure rates for the following alternatives:
Factory recommended 10w30 mineral oil ( dino juice) 150000 miles
Common GL 4-5 Gear Lubes 90000 miles
Synthetic Gear Lube (75W) 110000 miles
Mobil 1 Synthetic Engine Oil (10w30) (15w50) 200000+ miles ( very few failures during the years it was used in the shop, Not enough to establish a mileage and then we stopped using it in favor of Amsoil)
Amsoil Series 2000 Racing Oil 20w50 225000+ miles ( My own car may be the only one with failure that got the oil put in under 90000 miles in our shop and driver habits probably had a lot to do with that as well) No true failure rate established because the cars with it haven't failed and this is the average mileage they have on them now.
Any oil after gear lube was introduced into the gear box and drained with an oil replacement 5000 miles
