    Motor oil in transfer case?

    This is in regards to a twin-turbo AWD dodge stealth with about 500-550hp. Many people with these cars run mobil 1 10w-30 in the transmisson with very good results. The car specs "Hypoid Gear Oil, SAE 75W-90 or 75W-85W conforming to API classification GL-4" for both the transmission and transfer...

    Motor oil in transfer case?

    Well the tc and tranny call for the same fluid, that was why I was wondering if the 15w-50 would work better in the tc since 10w-30 seems to work well in the tranny. Mobil 1 15w-50 has a cSt@100C of 18.2 which seems thicker than a 75w-90 gear oil. The mfg recommendations are based on the car...

    Twin Tubro Stealth oil ?

    Thanks for the replies. I read the 3000GT article and it confirms what I already thought about needing a little thicker oil than 10w-30 provides for out cars. I picked up a 5 quart jug of 10w30 and 1 quart of 15w-50 at walmart yesterday, and that was the first I had seen the 5w-40. Not being...

    Twin Tubro Stealth oil ?

    Yeah, I read that article. I'm just wondering if mixing the two grades is just as good as the 5w-40, and vice-versa

    Twin Tubro Stealth oil ?

    I recently purchased a 91 Stealth R/T TT and it is now time to change the oil. Oil capacity is 4.5 quarts, I was planning on 1 quart mobil 1 15w-50, and 3.5 quarts of 10w-30. The reason for the 15w-50 is to thicken up the 10w-30 which I believe is just a little to thin for a high horsepower...

    ATV motor oil suggestions

    My brother just bought a 04 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. and was wondering what type of oil to use in it. I figured he should change it with dino oil for the first oil change, and then switch to a synthetic. It will be used in -20F weather during the winter.

    Advise on oil for winter

    It will be parked outside and it doesn't have a block heater to plug in. The battery is in good condition and it is a manual. Would a dino 0W-30 work since it does not get driven very hard (no long trips or pulling)?

    Advise on oil for winter

    I have a 85 Jeep Cherokee with 160,000 miles with a 2.8L V6 that doesn't consume oil and will be used for winter trasportion. Most of the driving will be in town from 10-20 miles per trip. My question is would a dino 5W-30 work for -35F(the extreme)start ups, or am I better to go with a synthetic?
