Re: Castrol R
Although it seems really odd, back in the early 60s Harry Weber promoted the idea of using 40 weight Castrol R in transmissions instead of gear oil. I don't know what his reasons were and if my father tried it was only very briefly.

Re: Castrol R
Just looking at the latest Registry mag and noted in the article on Heinz Werner Bade, it quoted him as saying "Same thing in the transmission. We didn't use 90. We used 50 weight Castrol R." I guess Harry wasn't alone in that idea.
