[DeTomaso] ZF oil -- the right choice

[Pantdino]

Here is a recent post from Les Gray which basically answers the question forever:
 
 
The Red Line oil NS designation means that in this particular oil there is NO 
additive added to reduce the clutch chatter in most limited slip differentials. 
Normally this additive is a good thing and almost mandatory in cars like the 
Corvette which has a fairly high degree of limited slip lock up. 
     Our cars have a two fold issues with these extra slippery additives. Number 
one is our diff uses a rather low limited slip lock up so this extra slip 
actually decreases what little lock up we have. Number two is this additive will 
inhibit our synchro rings ability to do its job and in extreem cases will burn 
up the synchro rings and the towers on the gears costing big bucks. 
    I've rebuilt ZF's since the late 1970's and have replaced dozens of synchro 
rings & gear sets due to the use of these additives. 
  As Jack DeRyke says "your mileage may vary" !!!!

What is the difference between the Penzoil and the 75W90 NS GL-5 Gear Oil Redline product?  Is one considered better than the other?


Thanks again,


Chris
