Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / April 2005OD trans lube redux
Checked with my tranny shop re what kind of gear oil they put in my T86/OD - they showed me something in a drum that said 'api gl-2' on it, no mention of mineral, etc - how do I find out if this is what's hosing my OD?

Pat, Harley spec. 20W50 (I sell it! http://www.oldcarfart.com) is GL-1 rated for use in V-twin gearboxes. Most Studaphites too f-n-frugal to use good stuff but it exceeds the lubrication requirements and makes it shift great! |
