Bang on, how much is it from Halfrauds? I buy mine direct from Castrol Classic oils.

I find it can be slightly thick on a cold winter's morning but after a couple of miles it warms up fine, and I've done quite a few thousand miles on it now (30+k on the 400SX which puts 300lbf through the box) with no problems.

always used sms myself - it seems to make the lt boxes stiff when cold but legend has it it helps them last longer - having said that loads of old sd1s run on atf etc for years -
