As per title, what do you use and what do you recommend.

The wiki recommends using Redline 75 80w, would that work or go well with the dogleg?

I use Castrol Syntrans Transaxle 75w-90 as recommended by other owners.

Nice and quiet and shifts smoothly for me

That's what I used in the past without issue.
