Honda is now carrying Honda Hypoid Gear Oil 75W-85 GL-5. I know the car recommends 90W. Any used this before? How does it compare to Mobil 1 75W-90 gear oil?? Thoughts?

 

Eh probably ok, but I wouldn't use it. Consensus weight to use is moving higher. 75w110 for temperate conditions, or 75w140 for hot/severe conditions.

 

what would you recommend for the differential?

 

hellooooooo

 

WTF do you think this is a 24/7 support hotline!


Get Amsoil 75w-110 sever gear lube

Mobil makes a 75w-110 I believe that's off the shelf

Motul has a good product

 

75w-110 is not too thick?

 

I run Amsoil 75w110. Not too thick. Oil analysis and usage experience on these Amsoil w110 and w140 oils show they work very well.

 

No, not too thick.

 

75w90 is about as low as I would go, so 75w85 is going in the wrong direction even though it is a small difference.

Best fluid/viscosity I've found is LE1605 which is an SAE110, great for 3 season weather, I would not run it in winter conditions though. 75w110 and 75w140 are good choices, in Amsoil or Motul

 

What I use in my boosted Ap1 with Ap2 diff.
