[Fot] D-Type Overdrive Recommended oil

[Alexandre Camoletti]

Millers Classic Mineral GL4 80-90 works very well also. Critical that it be
GL4, as GL5 will eat the yellow metals. 

I supplement it with 20% Lucas HD stabilizer, which reduces temperatures
notably.

Joe,

 

Not sure if anyone answered you yet but I always use 85-90W GL-4
non-synthetic oil.  The GL-4 is easier on the brass/bronze components.  The
NAPA brand is StaLube 85-90W.  O’Reilly also has a 140W GL-4 if you want a
heavier choice.  Moss also carries the Dynolite brand in a straight 90W GL-4
for $10 a quart.

 

Mike

I am about to dig into my overdrive that quit working and while I am at it I
plan to change the oil.  I have previously been using synthetic from Lucas
but that is expensive and difficult to get where I live.  So I am looking
for recommendations of normal types of oil (Non-synthetic) for the best
results using a D-Type Overdrive on a 4-Synchro 3-rail Spitfire gearbox.

 

Thanks,

Joe
