I thought the folks at Mobil would have done better, but apparently not enough. I've taken all your inputs into consideration and going with the Redline Shockproof (lightweight) oil. I'm also thinking of bolting on the aluminum cover of the 4A IRS diff to get a little extra capacity and perhaps some better cooling, although the added thickness may offset the higher rate of heat transfer through the metal. Will do the math.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;">Your insights are much appreciated.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;">Regards,</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;">Phil Gott</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;">Red '65 4A, #114<br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Alexandre Camoletti via Fot <fot@autox.team.net><br>To: fot@autox.team.net<br>Sent: Thu, Aug 11, 2022 4:38 am<br>Subject: Re: [Fot] Final drive (differential) oil<br><br></div><div id="yiv9509520834"><style><!--

The rear end is a welded diff carrying a relatively new (3 seasons) 4.1 gear set. I have yet to pull the cover.
