...to make it to the little oil catcher that lubricates the top bearing in the rear cover. This catcher relies on oil being flung off the gears, so if the oil is too viscous and doesn't fling far enough, the bearing doesn't get oiled.
You might ask Chip Lamb at WOS for a recommendation. It says on his website that he sells Amsoil, and presumably he uses it in the transaxles he rebuilds, so he should have a good line on which of their products would work best for this application. If you do this and get a response, please post it here so the rest of us will know!
