Ok i get it now

For some reason i was thinking you were talking about putting MTG in your diff and i got confused.....

 

Running richmond 4.56 gears;no more gear whine...

 

 

Gear oil is not rated the same way as, for example, motor oil. If you're used to seeing 10W30 in a motor oil, 75W140 gear oil is not 7.5 times thicker than the W rating for motor oil and it is not nearly 5 times thicker than the operating temp thickness of motor oil. Your is misplaced.

 

75w140 is unncessary for a relatively low power, light weight car like this, and will cost you some gas mileage...perhaps if you're drag racing the car or subjecting it to alot of high rpm clutch dumps...I'm running Amsoil 75w90, no issues

 

How do you guys feel about mixing the two Amsoils, 75w90 and 75w140.

 

I spoke with Amsoil tech services regarding basically the same question. They told me that mixing different viscosity oils is like mixing two different size balls in a giant hopper - like golf balls and soft balls for instance. The two viscosities will not mix to an average viscosity, which can ultimately lead to lubrication problems. The problems can occur in that different parts (and parts of parts) will be lubricated by different viscosity oil - which can lead to bearing loading issues and/or heat being dissipated differently within different parts of the component.

You could get away with running 75W140 in the diff in the dead heat of the summer - but expect higher diff temps and a decrease in mileage. 75W140 is really too thick for stock gears - and on the outside of the range I'd consider for any of the Richmond gears, but I don't think it would hurt anything in hot weather (I know some of the literature specs 75W140 for some of the Richmond products). I would not run 75W140 in the winter though. 75W90 works great in colder weather - even with Richmond gears.

Amsoil SG 75W110 falls within those two ranges, which is an appropriate viscosity for the diff.

 

royal purple isnt for hondas period....royal purple is built for race cars... so puttin it in a manual trans is dumb... honda has their own manual trans fluid for a reason... ne thing other than that.. wont work rite... but as for in the motor... i run royal purple srp racing oil.. 10 w 30.... shits ****ing amazing.... very expensive... 100 dollar oil change with k&n filter... worth every penny

but puttin any thing other than honda mtf in ur trans is dumb... its a stock trans... for stock fluid... royal purple trans fluid is for fully built trans's where a syn oil is needed to keep up wtih everything happening inside..

 

?

so race cars all have a Powerglide now? drag racing perhaps...

lol....clueless
