Oahu deals and Craigslist finds

One of the reasons why conventional oil is recommended is because it's been shown to dissipate heat from the gears better than synthetic. They syn oil itself stays cooler but the gears run hotter with it, if that makes sense.

I think the heavier oil would make a difference if we had freezing temps in Hawaii, other than that just make sure it's compatible with a LSD if you have one.

 

Yeah, good thing you mentioned about the LSD, would have totally forgot about it.

 

They recommend lighter oils for better fuel economy, not engine/gear wear. Its ok to run heavier oil.
Sorry, I just wanted to inform you on what they were seeing with royal purple users, so you can make a better decision on how to spend your money. FWIW, I think oil is oil. GL5 rated means just that. Although I bought some lucas to replace my rear end fluid since submerging it, I have been running a mix of penziol, Castrol, and Valvoline. Just because they were whats leftover in the garage and the Valvoline was at wal mart for cheap.

 

Yeah, the only reason I didn't buy/try a different brand is because the Lucas 85-140 was like 40% off a couple weeks ago, so I changed my front and rear diff.

 

@Vigo Are you still running conventional oil or did you swap in synthetic?

 

Well, I had the RP in my rear for a couple years now and no noticeable problems, and was supposed to have changed the rest at the same time, but kept putting it off until Saturday. like I wrote earlier, the whine started no to long ago. so I figured I change all fluids, didn't think it was my rear diff since I changes it , but we'll see if that was the problem..... hopefully.

 

I have mobil1 in mine, probably need to swap fluids out though, its been a few years

 

regular dino oil

 

Thought I remembered seeing a long extensive post with all the technical jargon about the Redline gear oils being good. I'll have to look for it later.

 

Anyone interested in the floor mats from my truck? 2016 double cab.

Oh well, Just went Napa, bought 3 qts of valvoline synpower with LSD additive, came home and drain and refill rear diff. Hopefully that'll do the trick

 

That's what I used. Lol
