Im using a Penrite Mineral oil "Limsip 85W-140" as was filled by a Diff shop i went to last year. Its back there now as im getting them to fit another locker for me But they have just found that the ring gear is stuffed! it has a slivered piece of metal that has sheered off the size of a 1 cent piece.
This is the Front Dana 30.
Im not sure if its just a bad set of aftermarket Superior Gears or i overloaded the Diff or its the OIL?
Nowhere do i see Mineral oil recommended and now im thinking should i go with Penrite SIN GEAR 75 (75w-90) or SIN GEAR 80 (80w-140) both Fully Synthetic Oils
The Diff shop are putting in Limsip 85w-140 again saying its all they use and its better than Synthetic! I asked about putting in Limsip 90 in the Front only but again they say 85w-140 is the only one i should be using in both.
Is anyone using Mineral Oil in their Diffs???

I have never had a problem with the locker operating cold or hot and don't expect to.
I changed to the 80/140 to follow the manual recomendation and it was time to check the diffs after some deep water crossings.
From memory the manual does state 75/140W 'full synthetic' when towing....
I do a bit of towing so like the idea of having the good stuff.

Is this the Oil your using Sin Gear Oil 80
Are you only using it in the Rear? do you still have 80w-90 in the Front?
cheers.
