which gear lube for eaton posi??

DirtKing · 03-28-2002, 06:26 PM

The instructions say to use a MINERAL based product; most products I've seen are either synthetic or petroleum based. Eaton also says NOT to use synthetics due to the high temp of the carbon fiber discs...this doesn't make sense to me cause synthetics are more stable at high temps than reg. oil. any opinions???
