Reply to "What oil to run in my ZF gearbox?"

First post... New owner and gear oil change time...

Blue #6007 moved from SoCal to Seattle February, 2016. Hall Pantera did a full restoration in 2002 for my Dad and Tom Hodges built the "street mini brute" motor. Tom continued to service the car until it's trip north.

I spoke with Tom in February about the car, engine & gear oil preferences. He told me to use NEO synthetic 90 weight, iirc. JAG13CAT's post above is the first mention of NEO.

Anybody else using this?

*********************************************

Update: I called NEO oil and spoke with Paul. They do specialty oils and custom blends. Paul said when he was a teenager he use to deliver cases of NEO 75w90 to Gary Hall. It's all they ever used in the ZF.

They make an F1 oil and several BTC teams are using their new 10w60 racing oil along with a few WRC teams.

Just bought a gallon...
