Hi Travis
I've been using Amsoil 80W-90 synth in my Warlock B-1 and never had any issues. But if ya beat something hard enough its gonna break.

Traviss I use Redline Shockproof heavy. I pulled my pinion out this winter and replaced a bad front seal and one thing I really noticed was the lube was still sticking to the gears after setting 3 months. have also noticed the redline likes to foam a little but, It does not seem to cause problems.

LOL! I am crossing my fingers! 
if you can work the stick, you will save any drive 
I pushed a little over 500 through it last year, took it apart today and no problems to be seen. been using mercury high performance lube.
