Gear oil break-in

How long does it take, if at all, to feel shifting affects of Amsoil? I just put it in, and I really don't feel a difference from the stock fill.

Shouldn't it be immediate? When I put in my 75w90 series 2k, I just drove it like I stole it.

I guess break-in isn't the term I meant. I know you can flog it just as you had before, I was just wondering when the difference in feel happened. I know I don't feel any difference compared to the stock fill yet.

It's possible that you won't feel a difference. With my Redline MT90 I can fairly confidently say that in my 00 I never noticed a difference. Perhaps there was one but it was so slight and overtime that I never realized what was happening.

You'll notice more of a difference the colder the weather gets.
