> I recently had the OD on my BJ8 apart to replace some parts ? bearing/accumulator/gaskets/O rings etc.
> For a first sort of sacrificial oil fill I decided to use a non detergent Castrol 30 wt oil. Date codes less than 18 months old. Plan was to switch to the expensive Redline MT90 after testing and after a few hundred miles. This 30 WT oil is often recommended by OD experts. I have built an electric variable speed rest rid to be able to test the transmission outside the car.
> Overdrive worked fine and transmission sounded OK and ran it for about 2 hours to get the temp up (52C on OD case) and hunt for leaks.
> So far so good.
>
> Then after a few days of standing, and 2 minutes of running, I drained the oil (to fix a leak) and was amazed to see that the oil had foamed badly and there were big classic fish eye bubbles on the surface of the oil. Ambient was about 14C. I did note that the oil coming out of the transmission was somewhat foamier than that from the overdrive drain plug.
> See enclosed pix.
> After standing overnight the oil looked normal again.
>
> What disturbs me is that unless I had drained the oil I would not have been aware of the foaming and put it into service ....
> Have now replaced with the MT90 that shows no sign of foaming on the dip stick.
