Gonna clean up my tranny today and change the fluid, are new synthetic products worth changing over to or is good old 90 weight still the way to go?

In old boxs like ours the lube should be changed often. So why throw good money away, you'll need it for other parts, 90W.

QUOTE(So.Cal.914 @ Jul 2 2006, 11:19 AM)  In old boxs like ours the lube should be changed often. So why throw good money away, you'll need it for other parts, 90W. "Often"? Why? Put in ONLY GL5, and forget about it. There is simply NO reason to be changing gear oil "often". None. I use 90-140, but straight 90 should be fine. You might wanna drop a little to grab a quick look at the drain plug if the tranny's getting noisy, but otherwise leave it alone. The Cap'n |
