Have been using full syn 80-90 for quite some time now with no issues on all past sleds, but wondering if it is the best to use on this?

Same here, full synthetic 75-90
This stuff is awesome. It's bright red too so there is no mistaking where it's coming from if you have a leak. http://spectro-oils.com/syn-sno-synthetic-snowmobile-chaincase-oil/

I never liked the Klotz because i could never tell if it was "dirty" because it 's black oil, but the black may help be seen through the window. Maybe i'll add some for color...Klotz black slim with Teflon AKA - Klotz chain case fluid. Every sled I owned.

Use to use Mobil 1 syn gear lube, but for the past so many years I have tried the cheaper priced Advance Auto syn gear lube, and yeah it is 75-90 weight and is also pink/ red color.
Waste a lot because I am always changing gears, but with this one I hope to leave it alone for atleast this year so maybe spend the extra for one of the mentioned brands.
Thanks for the responses, full syn it is!!
