[DeTomaso] Gear Oil

I currently use Castrol Syntrans 75W-90 GL-4+.
It is specified for VW transaxles and I needed it when replacing the
transmission in one of my son's golf, and when I saw it was a GL-4+ oil,
I bought a 20 liter container, thinking it would be great also for the ZF.
I've used Shell Getriebeöl 75W-90 fully synthetic, and also Mobil 1 SHC
synthetic, and before switching to this Castrol oil I used Redline, with
a bottle of the recommended friction modifiers.
Can't say I notice much difference between the oils. I think shifting
was hardest with the Redline oil.
