jimoshel Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Best and cheap should not be used together. When it comes to lubrication, always get the best. For the AX5, SAE-75W-90API GL-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Warrior Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Best and cheap should not be used together. When it comes to lubrication, always get the best. For the AX5, SAE-75W-90API GL-5Absolutely do not run a GL5 gear oil in the AX5/15 that is not 'safe for yellow metal'. I personally run 10-30 synthetic in my AX5 since GL3/4 oil is not available locally. It shifts like butter at 110 degrees and at -15 degrees. Redline MT90 would be my go to gear oil if I could remember to order it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark it up to a brain fart due to too much sun today. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 ^^ Don't feel too bad, Jim. There ARE yellow metal safe GL5's out there. Just make sure it explicitly says so on the tin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 In general, the synthetics like Royal Purple are safe for the synchronizers. The Pennzoil Syncromesh was formulated specifically for transmissions, so it's also a pretty safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I run Mobil 1 full synthetic 10W30. P.O also ran that in the AX4 that was in the truck when I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
