Re: 12 bolt gear oil
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.

Re: 12 bolt gear oil
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.

Re: 12 bolt gear oil
They are a sponsor for our three car S/SS team.
They also sponsor Jimmy Defrank, another S/SS racer you might recognize. https://www.redlineoil.com/motorspor...x?id=56&mid=15 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. |

Re: 12 bolt gear oil
Ok, that's what I assumed. I was hoping I was missing something as I use/buy their products.
