10w30 is good, but yes this is very top grade oil they use it in
pro race cars. it is not cheap at 5-6 bucks a quart

royal purple makes gear oil as well... i use bel ray racing lubrecants... they work good as well... oil is a personal type thing... some people will use nothing but penzoil... dunno why but still...10w30 is a good weight... if the car is going to be driven hard i would even go with a w30 oil... you are in florida so there is not a lot of zero degree weather so it will all be good...

90 weight gear oil... like i said royal purple makes it too... some people say you need to use lsd oil in the rear diff if you have an lsd... others dont... nissan says 90 w and makes no mention of lsd oil... dont know what to tell you there... others who have done the lsd swap fill it with just 90 w...

I used mobile 1 for a few oil changes, then started using Royal Purple (5w30/10w30) and noticed a slight difference.
Just picked up Redline MT-90 for the tranny.
