gear lube 75w-90

75w-90 Severe service good suggestion, i was thinking that in my mind but my mind was saying go 75w-140 . . .

So then i could go with the 75w-140 as the 140w will offer a bit more protection when it get's hot and still be the thin 75w when starting off cold . . .

I know you love your heavy viscosity fluids, but you are asking for cold weather issues going that heavy. Once the tranny is good and warm it shouldn't be an issue. But until it does....

I was just saying 75w is 75w ?

 

i already have or rather had a 5gal pale of the 75-140 is why i was asking. . .

I used to run 75w140 in my hyundai accent, but it makes it shift really hard when cold. I think I have 75w90 in it now, but really only because the parts store was out of the 140 when I went to buy fluid.

[AMC-MJ]

So go ahead n use the 75w-140 i got now ? . . .

I don't think it will hurt, it will just shift hard, especially in sconsin dis time of year, eh.

[AMC-MJ]

I'm not worried truck ran most of December with 20-50 super tech oil that was 2 years old n had 50 miles on it, it's got 10-40 AMSOIL now . . .

 

So i highly doubt that there will be a noticeable difference between 75-90 and 75-140, both are 75w so they should be the same cold, it not it'll get over it . . .

Will it work..yes..

 

But it will take longer to warm up enough to shift correctly than a 75w-90 would.
