Teal gear oil?

[chevrofreak]

I drained the differential on my 96 Crown Victoria yesterday and the fluid that came out was a teal green, and still appeared to be in good condition after an unknown number of miles. I've put about 50,000 miles on the car (130,000 now) since I got it, and who knows how many miles were on the fluid when I bought it. The ring, pinion and spider gears all looked brand spanking new.

In retrospect I should have just left the fluid in because the differential cover is leaking now

Who makes a green/teal colored gear oil?

I had the same stuff in my Jerico 4 speed when I pulled it apart a few years back. cant remember the brand name, Im sure it is a racing blend of gear lube, I want to say Moroso climbing gear lube but I just dont remember, I never had any product in a bottle in front of me, I was told what brand but long ago.
Im not worried about it I will use Amsoil gear lube in its place.

My dad said he used to have some Conoco gear oil that was teal in color. Maybe since Conoco makes Motorcraft products, and this was a police car that was serviced at the dealer it's Motorcraft brand stuff.

Anyone know if Motorcraft gear oil is teal?

Don't know about Motorcraft, but Conklin, Primrose, and BG gear oils are green. A lot has to do with dye and the fact they all three have soluble moly in them.

The Super Tech 75w140 full synthetic I just put in the transmission of my Harley was a nice honey color.

Mobil 1 75w90 is the color of cooking oil.

SWEPCO also has a teale hue to it. A lot of porsche guys prefer that in their transaxle. Maybe the previous owner owned one of those.

Kind of off topic but how is that ST lube working in your bike?
