My guess is the Cryo'd and Rem'd gear sets don't "wear in". For lube we always ran 75/90 synth. keeping in mind that we always ran max capacity. None of that 1/2 to 1 quart B.S. Your ring and Pinion is a very high load area in your race car that requires lube at all times. Not saying this is right, but it worked for me ... hope it helps.

YEAH it does actually. Mine is filled.
The SS uses a 8.5 Rear 10 Bolt which is a strong rear.
Full Stock figure you would need the 12 bolt 8 3/4 rear.
Might add a heater to keep it warm.

Who are some of the vendors you all have had good luck with treating ring and pinions?
Thanks,
Bill

I used Performance Engineering & Manufacturing.
Charged $164.00 total to do both Cryo & REM treatments.
Turn around time once they received the ring & pinion was 14 days.
Contact Randy to get a CN number for any parts you send to their plant.
