I did a search with no luck. So what weight oil should I use in my Mendi 2E? I bought Redline 75W90 High Performance Gear Oil is this ok? I'm getting soo close to lighting the candle I can smell it! Thanks Rob

I Have Been Using Red Line 75/140NS for five years with no problems, I would say the 75/90 is to lite of a oil

I would just call Ricky at Wright gear and double check to see what he wants U to run in the 2E. The stupidest question is the one never asked.

i talked to rick at the wright gear box for my mendi 2d and he said 75-140 gear oil any type i want and if i didnt want to buy synthectic that was ok cause they only put that in cars that have a trans cooler and reg non syn in cars that dont have a cooler but its up to you what you like. im a valvoline man so i bought durablend 75-140 weight ... and he also told me to lay it on its side and make shure that i get 4 quarts in there and that it mite leak a little outta the vent tube before its driven

Thanks I put Lucas 85-140 synthetic. I called Rick he said 85-90 was too light. So I returned it and bought 85-140.
