Rear Axle Oil
I have looked at so many sites and they all say something different. I've read everything from 30 to 90.
We just spent $1500.00 upgrading our 1990 Marathon so we don't want to screw anything up. What weight axle oil should we use? |

Re: Rear Axle Oil
Whatever you used is fine. The thing ain't gonna go 70+ MPH, and prolly won't get 10,000 miles per year.

Re: Rear Axle Oil
If the 23 year old gears are getting a bit noisy, heavier oil may quieten them down some.
What ever weight oil you decide on, add some Lucas or STP to it (5%-10%) |
