Mobil 1 75w-140 with SuperSyn

[Scooter]

It might be old news but, I just noticed that Mobil 1 now has a 75w-140 synthetic gear lube. I saw it at my local Kragen auto parts. Sitting right next to the 75w-90 I have used in the past was the "Light Truck and SUV" labeled product. It also contains SuperSyn like their motor oils. I found a data sheet here..

Hey that's great - BMW among an increasing # of makers seem to be specing 75W140 synthetic for rearends - good to see some OTC options out there.

I've never seen this in my area (TX) but I'll keep an eye out but I did happen to see some synthetic 75W140 from Coastal Unilube of all brands at autozone recently. Interetingly enough - no mention of it at their website coastalunilube.com.

Any thoughts on Coastal Unilube synthetic gear oils?

So why is it again that they are going towards 75W140 and away from 75W90 or SAE90 or whatever in rear ends? Certainly not economy I would guess... Noise? Protection?

thanks,

Don't many Fords spec 75W-140? That's a big market that Mobil has been missing.

Hey pg, I saw the same jugs down at AutoZone the other day, but the only synthetic gear oil I saw was Mobil 75W90. And they had a lot of Coastal lubes there, including Coastal 75W140. The only thing weird about the 75W140 weight stuff is you can slosh it around in the jug easily. You'd think 140W would be a little thicker.

I bought a case of the Coastal Mercon V to flush out the transmission on my Ranger and it works fine. No complaints there

...It's a 75-weight at a 100F (140 is when at 212F), which is no more than a 15w motor oil.

Just an FYI... The Coastal Unilube synthetic 75W140 I saw the other day at AZone has PURPLE letters on it's black bottle. I checked their website and they didn't list it there interestingly enough.

thanks,

The specs of the Mobil 1 75w-140 are on par with Amsoil but the M1 has a higher Flash Point. Anyone know how much ?
