Default Toploader and Synthetic Gear Oils

Hi Guys:
As wintertime approaches, I will be doing the usual fluid drains and cleaning tasks that all of us who are Cobra Winter Shut-Ins typically perform. (Ok you Guys in the Deep South and warmth... keep your fingers off of the keyboards)

So, in the past, I have used Castrol 75W-90 dinosaur grade gear oil in my 1966 Toploader. This year I was thinking about trying for the first time a Synthetic or Syntehetic blend trannie gear oil like The Royal Purple Max Gear or the RedLine.

Has anyone tried either of these in their TopLoaders?

I would really like to hear use reports and if the shifter seems more "snick snicky" with their use? (especially in cooler weather when the gear oil is thickened)

Thanks in Advance Guys!
