Hey out there:

Is it ok to use straight 140 WT gear oil in my diff? Or, should I go with 90/140? Eagle O-1 is the bus.

Thanks

RonR.

Iam no expert but I think it would be ok if you where always in the hot weather, but if you get it the cold the 140 sure is thick, Personally I would use the 90/140.

I would go with the 90/140.Use the 140 if you have a lot of wear in the diff.

Personally, I'm thinking Multi-Viscosity (90/140)is the way to go.

I suggest (and run) 75W-140. Available at any Wal-Mart.
