I never repacked these bearings, just pumped more grease in the fittings when ever I felt like it. I replaced them after removing an outer one, cleaning it well and doing a visual inspection. There were lines on the rollers and it had a roughness when turned with some manual pressure on it...

As a machinist by trade I don't like the look of the threads on the Gold's myself. Mine have looked like a poorly produced single thread or an intentionly machined double thread. Some sealing threads are made to be sacrificial, (for single use only ). That would be correct here "IF" they are...

Thanks.........

arkainzeye.........The racing oil didn't bother me, probably a 20-50 wt. w/a heavy duty add pak. I think he said it way Valvoline. Titan.......Shifting is much improved now and it is a wet clutch. Thanks

6300 miles on an 03 Suzuki VL800 805 cc w/c, 2200 mi oci and the Rotella is very dark in the sight glass after 100 miles. I had a 10-40GTX/ 10-30 Amsoil 3/1 mix in for the 2200 miles. P/O had a brand name racing oil in when I bought it. Should I be concerned about the dark color ?

Always lubed bearings w/Amsoil syn. grease. This trailer has fittings on the caps but are not the bearing buddy design. This one bleeds excess grease into the axle tube so the seals don't get pushed out. I purchased this trailer new and have used up 6+ sets of tires so it gets used pretty hard...

Blackstone website has your answers in a FAQ also. I saved 4oz. per their instructions while waiting for the kit.

Thanks Slick17601........As much as I respect the enginners at Honda this is not a good idea. My thinking is that as the filter gets clogged it finally kills the fuel pump. Oh well...

Good one......thanks for the <img border="0" alt="[LOL!]" title="" src="/forums/graemlins/lol.gif" />

Filter books say it has one, but we couldn't find it, even with the car on the hoist.

^ What he said.......except that I have turned a few sets just enough to remove rust from non use.

Jeez.......Thats not what I wanted to hear today. I have an 05 Silverado 4x4 w/the 5.3 HO and I drive it hard. Plus tow a 2000# boat w/gear and passengers for extended periods. Any thoughts on what I can do to prolong the tranny's life on this rig. It has the HD towing package for whatever thats...

Ditto on what trynew said. We have sent many, many travelers happily on their way for the cost of a qt. of ATF from a garage along I-80 in PA. Most of them just plain folk w/older cars who thought their engine was broken.

My local Pep Boys has Exxon at .79 per after case rebate untill 3/25. The coupon pic shows 20-50 wt. though, don't know about other weights.

Thanks Cerbera LM, Your report gives me confidence in Exxon, 5-20 oils in general, and 5K OCI's in 4qt engines. I just yesterday put 5-20 GTX in my daughters new/used 03 Civic EX. Old dog / New tricks I guess. We never owned anything that called for 5-20 before.
