Why would you want to go 50k on an ST lube? I've heard a lot of people remark that it's great for a few thousand miles but loses its smoothness quick and your in the same spot you were in before. Its not worth what they want at $11 a quart. You can buy M1 and Valvoline gear oil for $8.99. Screw ST.
 
Here's my opinion that I posted on a different thread. Also, the ST 75w-90 is a blend unless they recently changed something.

Also, my engine didn't seem to have as much of a load on it when I drained the ST out and put in another gear oil.

I give a thumbs up to ST motor oil and ST coolant, but to their transmission fluid and gear oil, not so much. Maybe their full syn gear oil is better, but I'd rather use an AAP code or just pay the piper and get something that I'm not so skeptical about.

Also, I noticed that there is a Castrol Syntec full syn gear oil out there for a decent price if you're looking for a bargain. I'd definitely try that if they had it in the weight you're looking for.
