    I noticed smoother shifting in my 2016 and 2020 with MT90. Especially downshifting from 2nd to 1st.

    That’s the average price on west side Vancouver haha. If you wanna get real fancy, go to west Vancouver or white rock, 5-10 million dollar homes easy. They are just regular homes to be honest, some are bigger than others.

    I have that one and the 1.5L. I use them for everything, trans, power steering, diffs. WAY better than the steel grease gun style guns. No leaks and u can fill it really easy.

    A client of mine just bought his daughter an apartment for $1.6M on Victoria Island close to the bay. It was nice but so basic given the price.

    I'm not an Amsoil head! I just like what it's done in the diffs. I will still run
    Red Line MT-LV 70W/75W in the transfer and Pennzoil Ultra platinum in the engine.

    Worked for a company that had 8 f350s nothing crazy I know. But ran amsoil in them at 25k intervals and never saw a problem. Not sure if that speaks to synthetics in general or amsoil themselves. I really don’t think oil is one of those things that “name brands” mean a whole hell of a lot, but it’s a reliable company just expensive.

    Gear oil brands really don't matter for mid sized trucks. Change them and you're good.

    I had pinion noise on my truck, fresh regular 75w90 fixed it. It's not the brand, its maintenance.

    Amsol is the original snake oil, no way to find real / accurate information it’s all bs from a paid distribution network. IMO no doubt it’s as good as any other main options, but better is highly questionable. The distribution network and “paid” reviews is a major turn off for me.

    OP, the only way to settle this is a spill n fill with Walmart oil of the same viscosity. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
