10W30 Mobil 1 in the differential
I had some left-over 10W30 Mobil 1 synthetic oil from an oil change I did on my car. I figured, why waste it, so I changed my gear oil and added that. Does anybody have a negative opinion on what I did? I know the manual says to use 30W
I'm sorry about bringing up this topic, but the last disscussion had no mention of 10W30, just 90W, 30W and cooking oil |

GEEZ Bruce....
10W30 will be fine for now, I ran it in my 96 DS 48V trans for 2 years, with no problems, I'm pretty stuck on doing what the manual says... but, I have strayed at times! |

Re: 10W30 Mobil 1 in the differential
I did the same with 10W-40 synthetic. I read that the oil reaches the upper range of the weight at 100 degrees. I live in FL too, it's already 80 degrees most of the time, I figure the temp raises pretty quick.

Thanks Bruce , Yeah, I know, but this must be a common question and someone else may like the info. Seriously, thanks for the input guys. I'm pretty OCD, so next time I'm in wally world I'll snag some 30W Mobil 1

Re: 10W30 Mobil 1 in the differential
Good luck in finding straight 30wt in a synthetic in a store. If you do post it here I'd also check online for 30wt Royal Purple... I did find that on Amazon

Re: 10W30 Mobil 1 in the differential
I just bought a quart of 30W Royal Purple at my local auto parts store in Houston. Royal Purple is based here so it is probably more available here than elsewhere. I did have to ask for it, they did not have it on the counter. I didnt see any speed increase but it needed to be changed!

Re: 10W30 Mobil 1 in the differential
Hey Scuba,
I didn't think about that I only use synthetic oils whenever possible. I might just leave the 10W30 in there, unless I find something else. The way I look at it, the engineers want you to use a product good for all temps. Here in FLA, it's hot, and I bet you could use an even higher then 30W viscosity oil. However, if I find straight 30W synthetic, I'll let you know |

Re: 10W30 Mobil 1 in the differential
I had to get mine from Amazon as well. I looked and looked for 30W RP (and asked) but nobody carried it. I did buy a few qts to get the free supersaver shipping.
