Best gear oil for G1
Hi all, if its not 100 degrees tomorrow I want to power wash my 81 G1 engine compartment down and I need to check the rear end gear oil. Can someone let me know what would be a good gear oil for the rear? I have 90wt gear oil but have heard synthetic is much better also can I use what ever anyone suggests for the steering box also. Thanks all.

Re: Best gear oil for G1
manual says SAE 90 gear oil for both gear box (.85 qt) and steering (.16 qt)
In my opinion syn oil is overkill but thats just me.It's not that much more $ Calvin,you can download an owners manual from the sticky above,just follow spriddles link and choose 1984 G1.I believe they are all the same from 79-84. It's full of great info on oil specs,capacities,belt adj,etc |
