>>>I use CRC oil, made by Sta-Lube.   It's arguably no better or worse than 
any other oil you can get, BUT you are assured that it is the proper GL5 
spec.   As a wonderful bonus, it's available in one-gallon jugs, and you can 
buy an optional pump which threads onto the bottle.   Each pump meters out 
exactly one ounce, which is a beautiful thing.   Rather than struggling with 
long quart bottles, you simply set the jug atop the gearbox, insert the end 
of the hose into the side, and pump merrily away.   You'll need 7 1/2 US 
pints, which is damn near a gallon.

See attached photo....I got mine at the local NAPA auto parts store, along 
with the pump.   Usually my store has it in stock; last time they only had 
pint bottles so I had to order it, and it arrived the next day.
