Some say ATF.I have used nothing but 80 90 gear oil since the 60s.My 65 thats well abused and the Express truck still have gear oil and no problems.Ma did recommend ATF in winter if shifts were hard.I drove mine for years year round in the 60s 70s and gear oil was fine.Rocky

not debating the point made but I NEVER heard of anyone saying"cold weather is coming,gotta change the tranny fluid".....just wasn't done in my area Read it all the time back in the early 70's in service manuals.. Also recommended 140 wt for 18 spline 4 speeds.. WAY TOO thick, I tried it.....

If you've ever disassembled an 833 with high miles that ran only ATF you'd find the cluster gear pin will have a groove worn in it from the needle bearings due to the ATF.

I use 80w-90. I topped it off with GL-5 a few years ago and it hasn't dissolved yet.

Gl-4 for trannys and GL-5 for diffs. There is a difference and it matters way more than the weight. DO NOT use GL-5 in your 833.
