    Oil ??

     



    I have a Borg Warner T-10 that I just installed in my Hemi Ford truck. Was wondering if anyone knows for sure what oil to use. Seems like these old 4 speeds used 90w gear lube, but I'm just not sure. Anyone know??

    Yep, the new stuff reads 80-90, but it is what I use in the transmission in my 27.

    Are they still scraping oil up of the beaches,you may be able to get some really cheap with free additives to lube your gearingbox so that it has that gear drive sound to it. Just imagine you could start a new trend, gear drive whine from the motor, a nice whine from your gearbox followed by the whine from your quickchange, just wear earmuffs for those longer trips.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
