For the guys who said grease, I have a question for you.
Would any of you consider putting grease in a manual 1:1 transmission? How about a motorcycle gearbox?
I posted a few times that the best I've found is oil treatment, it can be any brand, STP, Coastal, doesn't matter. A 3906 or 3905 trans needs less than one ounce. It has high vicosity but still far less drag than grease.
And the biggest reason is it stays where it needs to be, not flung to the outside where it becomes a particle collector. And I must disagree with you paralyzed, about running dry, I think that is a huge mistake. Especially with the power in even a mild BL setup, this is suicide and will contribute more drag than even grease would.
I got a bottle of Coastal brand oil treatment at a local store for about 1.79, and the bottle will be enough for many trans and diff rebuilds. In the newer sealed diff cups it is also far superior to grease, and willl give a tiny bit of limited slip effect, but again it STAYS where it needs to be.
You racers need to try this, in the event you don't like it you can put the rest of the bottle in your lawnmower.....
