I like the 75-140 synthetics myself. Valvoline in particular. Synthetics hold their viscosity and handle heat much better than dino oils, this can really help out with the gears. Gear oil is so thick you really don't need to worry about leaks if you do a swap to the slippery synthetics. I still use Valvoline dino in the crank-case for fear of puddles on the floor.1990 Ninja ZX-10. It's the Silver Surfer. HI-YA!!
2006 Yamaha XT-225. Yep, I take it on the interstate. It's Blue Butt.
1982 Toyota 4x4. 22R Cammed, 38/38, 2" pipe, 20R head with OS valves, performance grind and other fun stuff. It's Blue RASPberry.
