What is your best oil for manual transmision for the summer I watch the label over his writing f27a. I think its a M50D-R1 2WD

It depends on which trans it is. The FM trannies should never run anything thinner than 80-90, the M5 should only get Merc or MercV

thank you will use this oil...I do not need an additive

Going off your vehicle specs in your profile, you probably have the M50D..which takes ATF, not 80-90W

Yeah, I've read that TSB too, I even followed it once with my FM145. Guess what isn't in my truck anymore and needs rebuilt from running fluid that was too thin?

FM transmissions are built too lose for Merc. It kills the bearings.

Either of the trucks in your profile should have the M5 though, so Merc.
