>all the local gear oils seem to be 85W140. Is this what everyone is using
or
is there a straight EP 140?<
==============================================
Definately best to use a straight EP140 ( Still available from Castrol,
Penrite etc)
There are various problems associated with use of "multigrade" gear oils
in older gearboxes and Axles = in particular the tendancy of some
older types of brass/bronze bushes to just disintegrate!
