Steve Cureton Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Most people recommend gearbox oil but I use engine oil and do it more frequently. No real reason, jut that I always have plenty of engine oil lying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real reason, jut that I always have plenty of engine oil lying around.There's a real reason to use EP oil though. Advising someone to use engine oil isnt a great idea I'm afraid - no offence. Timmsy - EP90 GL4 gear oil or EP80/90 GL4 for the trunnions (and gearbox to-ups). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Definitely gear oil 90/GL4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heraldcoupe Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Engine oil really isn't up to the job, stick to EP90 or EP80/90 GL4. Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trunnion might not have quite the same "extreme pressure" requirements as does a differential, but there's more than enough going on there for me to think "why argue with the folks who designed it?"
