I have searched high and low, at just about every regular auto parts store, speed shop and jobber places. For some reason, no one brings in Mobil 1 75/90 gear oil in my city. Weird, as I keep reading how easy it is to get at many retailers in the US. Not something I've encountered before. And it's no problem getting Mobil 1 engine oil.

I even looked at SuperAutobacs in LA when I was down there in October, and couldn't find the Mobil 1 there either.

Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions on alternatives. I CAN get Redline, Amsoil and Lucas locally, all in 75/90 weight. Plus of course the other major names, Castrol and the like. Oh, and I think I can get Motul, and I think a few of the ricer shops carry Eneos, but I don't know if they have a gear oil.

I might be able to get LE1605 locally, still waiting to hear back from the local retailer. Apparently, they usually only stock the large containers. My trusted engine builder hadn't even heard of Lubrication Engineers, so I called their Canadian head office to find the local retailer.

I'd rather not bring in items from the US if I can avoid it, as it adds disproportionately to the cost (unless I piggyback with another item) but I've ordered the summer's worth of stuff already, so....

Any suggestions for those brands I can get locally would be appreciated.

 

Pick one. Buy it. Pump it into the diff housing.

Seriously. They're all quality oils. Redline, amsoil, etc. whatever. As long as it's GL5 Hypoid lube that's 80W/90 or close, you'll be fine.

 

Thanks for the input dude!
