I was reading through BDS and they mentioned that synthetic oils are just too thin to use with thier blowers. Granted, you're not using this on a blower, I would think these gears would be subject to the same type of load as the blower would be, so I would agree with the people from Currie.
Amsoil has the best #'s of any oil. reg. oil wouldn't stay in the first jets so a synthetic oil was made so they could fly those things, but its not good enough for a blower? i would think a 50 or 90W in oil or synthetic would be the same thing. i've run it in everything i had and still do. sounds like BDS must own some oil stock.
