I had 228,000 on an 85 900 turbo with known-original trans (I bought it with 31k.) Over 13 years of ownership, I used only 10w-30 Pennzoil or Castrol, with 15k mile changes. I felt the frequency of the change was more important than what you used, so I never did Slick 50 or any of those other things, although I did try a synthetic once just for the heck of it. I also towed with the car (mainly 96s and a couple of C900s!) both flat-towing and on dollys, both probably pretty hard on the trans. I did one clutch during this time and never had the engine out. The car is still running around northern Michigan, last I checked, so is probably well over 230k by now.
