12 bolt gear oil
 
What's a safe amount of gear oil in 12 bolt ? I tend to over fill !

Best gear oil to use is Red Line Lightweight ShockProof. It has gl6 where as most others only have gl5. The gears never really touch each other, the oil is a cushion.

Second vote for Red Line Lightweight ShockProof, 1 qt. Plus they support sportsman racing and are one of our sponsors.

If the cover retains the OE design, a quart of gear oil will be out in the axle tubes before you pass the 330' clocks. Think about that.

How are they supporting us?

They are a sponsor for our three car S/SS team.

They also sponsor Jimmy Defrank, another S/SS racer you might recognize.

There are many companies that support S/SS racers across the country. Just because you don't see them on a contingency sheet doesn't mean that don't support S/SS racing.

Ok, that's what I assumed. I was hoping I was missing something as I use/buy their products.

I've always used two simply because I don't know any better...
