- What may be the recommended oil to use for a newly refurbished gearbox (non-OD). I believe in the past I have been using a 30 weight of either synthetic or regular, but I can't recall. Thanks in adva

- Ed, The GL4 (80/90w) is recommended although some listeners use Redline synthetic gear oil which is of the same weight I believe. GL5 contains stuff that will cause problems with the brass components

- Hi: What is the correct gearbox oil to use. In"How to restore a Triumph" byRoger Williams He say to use ST90 gear oil. But in the TR3 Service instruction Manual it says to use SAE 30. Thanks Larry __

- Ah, the zombie thread - you can shoot it but it never dies! Been there, done that recently. At the suggestions of folks here I recently put Valvoline 20w50 racing oil into my Spitfire's OD gearbox. B

- An alternate view from John Esposito who rebuilds many ODs is Valvoline non-detergent 30W. I use that because he built my OD. Jim -- yes, file it under 'Horses, dead, flogging of'. __________________

- As you may have gathered, Larry, this is an often-debated topic with no clear answer. It's actually much more complicated than it seems, since there are lots of variations in both "gear oil" and "SA

- What I've seen on this (the never ending thread) is that pretty much *anything* is used with success. ATF, 5w30-20w50, gearoil, synthetic 50W, marvel mystery oil, hydraulic oil for tractors, and no

- I have a case of 24 Quaker State Racing Oil Cans (40WT)left over from the 70's in the Garage. I wonder how this would work in a non O/D TR6 Box. I'm a big believer in Mobil 1 Gear Oil except in old b

- When I first installed a rebuilt gearbox w/OD from QM I used non-D 30 as John E recommended. It worked okay (after I replaced the solenoid and then the entire OD, but that's a different story). But w
