12 bolt gear oil

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...

Beware of the redline stuff. It has changed since they were bought out.0

I have 5 Gallons of the old Heavy Shockproof (Red) if anybody would want it ... Never opened ... Back when we were going through 6.00 gears every 50 runs, I tried this . It did help .... But a 9 in. was the cure ....

I have used the redline lightweight and super lightweight for years and love it. Rear and stickshift transmissions.

Please explain what has changed and what I should be concerned about? Did I miss a memo?

I have 2 qts of Richmond GL-5 in my 12 bolt, and put 220-240 runs a season on my pro gears. I think these gears have been in for at least 4 seasons.

I would like to know about your findings as well?

2qts should be just right. As far as axle bearings go on axles like a Ford 9" the seal is in the tube behind the bearing from the factory. I can't remember how it is with c clip eliminators. I never saw the advantage of the heavy shockproof in a rear. I prefer flow over it sticking to non wear parts. It's impressive if you disassemble as gar as how it coats everything.
As far as support goes I don't think anyone holds a candle to Lucas for support and their products are great. I like Lucas synthetic gear lube.
