I guess I'm asking our Canadian friends who may be using this in their S2000 rear differential:

If you are, please relay any reviews/comparisons or opinions you may have. And if you have any UOA's, please post them.

Thanks.

 

Where did you find this?

At first I thought it was old - talking about GL-6 - but it's recent.

If I may I would like to add: the GL-6 lubricants are for high offset hypoid gears.
The offset of a hypoid gear set is the distance between the centerline of the ring and the centerline of the pinion.
High offset = more distance = more sliding teeth.

 

Esso is part of the Mobil clan isn't it ?, does Mobil have a similar product too or is it just for Esso up here ?

 

I heard about it on BITOG a few years ago. I checked this morning and it still appears current. I wouldn't be opposed to trying the 85W-140 here in Texas. I'd just like to hear from someone with more experience with it.

 

We used to have Esso stations here in the US, but I haven't seen one in years. I think they are all called "EXXON" now.

 

This is the BITOG thread where I learned about GL6 gear oils actually being made and available:

Not only is the Esso gear oil mentioned, but so is Richmond Gears GL6 (full synthetic for those synthetic fans).
