Testament Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 your trans oil might be EP, it is sometimes. but sometimes its just engine oil, depends on the trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sholdowa Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'd use EP 90. Whatever you do, don't get it in your hair unless you like the greasy look for the next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 yeaits good to have ep due to the way the diff pinion and crown slide against each other , normal oil tends to squeeze out in these circumstances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 the stuff you want is HP90. mongol is onto it, the pressure in between the crown wheel and the pinion is immense, wrong oil = fail. edit; the gears dont "slide" at all, they have a continuos rolling contact but the contact patch is very small hence the huge pressure. HP stands for high pressure. this is to do with the oil's shear strength and its ability to hold a film under extreme load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'm not certain HP'll cut it. EP = extreme pressure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint16 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Some good oil is Hy Tran oil. Go in to a Case IH tractor place should be one near you. And ask for Hy Tran oil. I highly recommend for diff. NO WAY!!! that oil is too thin, and is quoted on the label as suitable for 'tractor transmissions and final drives', not differentials!!! i saw the aftermath of your diff after using that oil, no way would i recommend that oil! stick with the tried and true method of using factory recommended diff oil with the right viscosity.

RUNAMUCK Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Gear oil is smelly shit. I got some on myself once. I ended up throwing away the top I was wearing under over overalls. Fuck I hate the shit. Sythetic stuff doesn't smell as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
