Look this debate is getting boring now.Its not the "wrong" oil.
I'll say it for the hundredth odd time,i have filled hundreds,if not thousands of boxes up with it and never had any comebacks or problems associated with it.

and it is still wrong.

sae 80w-90 is what is printed in all the manuals, and is what should be poured into the box, it is the correct answer to the op's question
