EP 220 gear oil used in a auto?

[Gwoody]

Can I use EP 220 gear oil in my 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 hemi motor. Would this not be recommended?

What's spec'd in your owner's manual.

Would a X-reference help?

I'd pass its an industrial gear oil with a VI of 97?

You're wanting to use gear oil in an engine?? Why? If I interpreted your post correctly,you asked if you could use it in your "2011 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 hemi motor"?

In engine, no.
In differential, possibly no problem.

Still no, not the right viscosity or properties for automotive use in many locations.

For example the pour point is a mere -4f degrees
