wooten Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 i have read on here that some use gear oil while others use motor oil what is the difference in the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 i have read on here that some use gear oil while others use motor oil what is the difference in the two 407831[/snapback] Gears oils are heavier or thicker than motor oils because this allows for better dispersion inside a gear box where there is not a pump to circulate the oil like inside a motor. As for type, use a sythetic whatever you use and generally stay away from car oils 10w30 and lower, most of them have energy conserving additives such as moly. This can be identified by checking the API label where it will list "energy conserving". Whether you use standard motor oil or gear oil is up to you. There is benefits both ways.

Big Blue Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 10/40 is what I run, it is fine just make sure it donesnt have any additives in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooten Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 what brand are you using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 what brand are you using 407933[/snapback] I personally use Mobil1 15w50 cause it is readily available and doesn't contain the energy conserving additives. Also it's one of the best synthetics on the market. Others I would recommend are motul, redline or amsoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brugal Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) Amsoil. 1.5 quart. Edited August 25, 2005 by brugal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsaripper Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 OK I wasn't going to answer this question, but it is always interesting to see the reaction. I use F type ATF. I have used it for three years and not had any problems. I change the oil about every 20 hours. Its cheap and makes the clutch grip not slip!!
