im running castrol vmx80 in gearbox and transfer makes the shift better when cold and most people swear by it. Looking on about 5 different forums the general consensus is the thinner the better

X2 only Castrol VMX-M is prefered over the VMX80, it is slightly different formulation and helps with notchy gear change in the cruiser gearbox
