runnin the Coastal 75W90 gear oil in my manual transmission been in there for 6000 miles and when I get around 15K on the car(just went over 8k) I will drain/refill with amsoil. No problems with the gear oil, only time I have ever used a coastal product. No complaints.

When I called Coastal the rep said their CI-4 grade Fleet 15w40 had approximately 1200 ppm phosphorus, 1410 ppm zinc, and 2400 ppm calcium. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask how old the specs were.
I suspect those specs may be from when it received API CI-4 certification and thus may be a little of date.
Also, it never appeared dark to me out of the bottle, same color as any other motor oil.

So the black bottle is the cl-4 and the white botle is the newer not as good stuff right?
do you have a link to their website?

thank you, I see it's our friends the friendly private label maker oils.
As I recall, this was the company that made oil for a rental car company that cost about $2 ( or less) per gallon a few years back.
Warren Unilube aka Coastal also makes the Autozone House oil as well as RaceTrac Gas Station brand oil. I've used it, not bad stuff.
Having said that, the Walmart Brand 15w40 Fleet oil, made by Warren Performance has a pretty impressive looking spec sheet with a TBN of 9.5:

I do not have any experience with Coastal Fleet, but I did purchase a generous supply of Coastal full synthetic in 5w and 10w30. Somewhere around 100 quarts at $1 per quart. I have used this oil in all my vehicles and naturally I have had no problems. I have also used AAP house brand, O'Rielley's house btrand, Super Tech from Wally World all of which are reported to be Warren. I can report no difference in performance.
I think in your part of the world Oreillys is likely packaged by Omni and a somewhat lesser cousin of TropArtic.
