Transaxles normally take 20W-50 synthetic.

It isn't so much as a preference to what you use. It is what the manufacturer recommends. The old Peerless gear transaxles used bentonite in most cases but there was a few that used 75W90, and the Peerless hydrostats used 10W30. Hydrogear uses 20W50, but Tuff-Torq recomments synthetic 5W50. The old rear engine snappers used 00 grease.

But then companies like JD will recommend Hy-Gard Low-Vis in their transmisisons which are Tuff-Torq in their mowers. Or in the case of Kubota front axles on compact tractors they recommend either 75W90 or Super UDT.

As IL said, you need to use the one recommended by the manufacturer.
