I use 75-90 synthetic gear oil in all my cars 405s and 505s
It shifts fine at -35F
I have been using this for years
I tow cars on a tow dolly with my XD2S TD last summer
a 505 SW from St Louis home 1200 mi
I swear by the stuff
I use a generic brand by a local bottler Mobile 1 would be the same

Subject: [Peugeot-L] 86 505 Turbo: Transmission oil question
Hello. I just changed the oil in my 5 speed transmission. There were
some metal particles on the magnetic drain plug. two quarts of dirty
oil came out.
I replaced the oil with Castrol 10/40 mineral based engine oil.
It seems to me that the transmission is making more noise, this
worries me...shifting is about the same. Acceptable but might be smoother.
Should I try another type of oil?
I use Royal Purple 20w-50 in the engine, which I believe has about
300k on it and still runs rather well, with just a puff of smoke when
starting from cold. Synthetic is tempting for the transmission, but it
may be unsuitable.
