Rob - If you want to switch to synthetic (which is very common, actually), I don't think you'd need to supplement it with Lucas. Royal Purple is one brand that quite a few busnuts have had success with. Here's a link for the differential oil: http://www.royal-purple-industrial.com/pdfsi/mgearips.pdf Amsoil is, of course, another synthetic brand that's common, and I think you'll find lots more under the major companies (Chevron, BP, Shell, etc.) if you poke around on their industrial lubricants webpages. As for me. . . well, I just sort of stick to well-known dino oils, not into the synthetic stuff. Yet. FWIW & HTH. . .  (Message edited by rjlong on July 21, 2009) | ||
