Synthetic fluids

[homebase1]

Hello All......

Guess what......Hell has frozen over !!

If someone would give me specific brand names for the following, I
will be switching:

A Synthetic 30wt. motor oil

A synthetic trans fluid

A synthetic final drive fluid

And finally, the name of a ft wheel bearing grease with an EP and
475-500 drop point rating.

Will I be able to use the same bearing grease for chassis lub in a
gun ?
Can I mix synthetic and "other" based fluids, or must I remove all
traces of the non-synthetic prior to synthetic installation.

Knowledge appreciated..

Suggest you go to the following sites and get the information you need..by
the way synthetics are fully compatible with conventional motor oils.

Hi Mike,

I'd use Mobil 1 20W-50; no need for single wt. It's arguably the best
synth oil available.

Don't have any experience with synthetic auto trans fluid, and I don't
know what should go in the final drive so I can't recommend anything
there. If it takes a standard 90W type gear oil, then I'd use Red Line
synthetic in an 85W-90.

Kendall Super Blue is great bearing grease (dinosaur-based) and Castrol
makes a synthetic that so far works well.

You don't need to worry about a little mixing with the engine oil, but
don't mix the greases. Don't mix any greases.

Mike:

Amsoil synthetic grease has a drip point of > 500 degrees F. They have
several greases , as well as oils, to choose from, so select the
appropriate one. Their Web site URL is: http://www.amsoil.com
