What do you guys use for the your differential lube. I cannot find anything without GL-4 or GL-5. I recently put some new gear lube with GL-5 and was advised to replace it. I appreciate your advice. Gary

Don't fool around with old number gear lube. Use 80-140 any brand. I use this in my 53 Hornet that I drive cross country, ocean to ocean, have 143,000 since I rebuild it and finished it in 1998. Walt.

Paul - so you use the Lucas motor oil in the differential. What weight do you use. I looked at their gear oil and it hey do not state it is non-corrosive to yellow metals. I presume none of the motor oils have the corrosive additives. Gary
