Where would this tidbit of information be documented from
a reliable source? I dearly hope it's true, but can't prove it
beyond "read it in a post".
I had to replace the gear oil in my Midget box, and couldn't
find GL-5 anywhere so I put in Castrol Hypoy until I could find
some.
This Castrol I have in makes the box work great, and it is
listed as "GL-5 and MT-1" compliant. But I am still worried about the
yellow metals.
I'd like to keep the current oil in there for a lot of
reasons including cost and availability but also because
changing the oil in that tranny is an awful job.
I might sleep a little better if I could find a technical
treatise that states what you just did. Not that I don't trust
you, but I want to be sure.
