Lubricants for axles - how are they different from gear oils?

Lubricants for axles and differentials occupy a unique place in the industry. They're at the same time a consumer product, a commercial product, a product not really intended to be changed by consumers, and with few specifications surrounding them. So what are the requirements for these lubricants?

This is why I love working with old-school equipment. If the lubricant had a lubricity anything better than rusty water it was more than good enough to do the job.

Could you do a video on multi-rated gear oils? I mean gear oils which specify both GL-4 and GL-5 on the same bottle. How are the different from gear oils which specify just one of the standards?

Great information! Fluid selection is very important and people need to understand it.

Excellent. As far as a clutch type LSD goes, if it's aftermarket and no oil recommendation except use 140 grade is given, how does one work out what oil to use

Thanks mate. Do you have any info on pinion heights. I know hypoid is below the crow wheel and I think genius is level and snood is above. Due to the pinion helix being different do they need different? Cheers

For the viscose diff I wonder if they ever used a Newtonian fluid?

@ 7:10 you are saying that clutch plates absorb the force/torque of right hand wheels and transfer them to left hand wheel,but still at starting point slip occurs?Thank you.

Hey, I have a rather stupid question. What exteme pressure additive is used in hypoid gear oils that make them smell rather like armpit sweat?

One thing I have learned with my 2017 ram 2500 with anti-spin Is that traction control virtually renders the anti-spin useless. Unless I totally turn the TC off - which is another can of worms.

Some OEM. Recommends 80W90 for front and rear diff however 75W-90 for the tans.. i thought 75W-90 would be a superior oil thus used in all 3.. ??🤔

@davidwillmore Жыл бұрын

In a viscous LSD, wouldn't you want an oil that behaved like a non-Newtonain fluid?

@needmoreboost6369 Жыл бұрын

Like silicone oils? corn starch is a poor lubricant

@FairladyS130 Жыл бұрын

In my experience a viscous LSD has the working part sealed so the diff oil would be OE recommended.
