Mobilgear 600 XP 220 for use in rear differential

[lojbeck]

Any thoughts on using this oil in a non-limited slip rear end. Viscosity and wear ratings (EP-5) look good. I am not sure about anti-foaming characteristics. This oil is manufactured for use in helical/bevel enclosed gear drives under heavy wear loads.Conpatible with brass/copper and a wide range of seal materials

It's 220 cSt at 40°C, with a really low VI. The pour point is -11°F. It will have horrible cold weather performance.

Thanks for the advice. I was given about 30 gal of this oil. I'll stick with the auto recommended gear oils.
