Lucas oil stabilizer in BW transfer case?

[milld]

Hello,

I've just renewed my diff oils and put a 50% mix of Lucas oil stabilzer and valvoline SAE 90 API GL-5 &GL-6. Now tomorrow I will be doing the BW transfer case. Should I just stick with ATF DX3? or should I put say 25% of the lucas stuff?

This has probably been covered somewhere no doubt but anyways.

Cheers

Steve

I did, I have, I love the stuff and I will continue to do so.

Supercheap has a special on it at the moment for 15.90 :)

As I was pouring the stuff today in the diff, the late afternoon sun was gleaming through the golden oil. The stuff looks nearly good enough to eat. :wasntme: LOL

Why do i get the feeling bradtot may have tried cooking with it?

do a search on Mobil Agrifluid for the BW T/F case. Terriific stuff. I've used it for the past 40,000km ...the T/F case quietened right down...works very well. Can be difficult to find...might need to get it from a farm produce/supply store which stocks mobil oils etc. Come in a 5 or 6L container. Plenty for a replacement.

I always used 50% Moreys or Lucas oils in the BW transfer case of my Rangie. It had done around 650.000 kms when I sold it and was still working perfectly.

I've just got to work out how to fill the transfer case now. Might go to supercheap and see if they have some sort of inline hand pump.

Oil additives, why ? :no2:

BTW, if ATF is specced a good Agri fluid as mentioned above contains higher levels of EP and AW additives, ie. you'll get less wear in use.

I find any good snake oil will work as an oil stabilizer..............

a simple transfer pump powered by a cordless drill works very well indeed. Simply flush with 100ml kero when you're finished.

You guys do know that BW recommend ATF and that they made the things.

And that applies to the millions they have made for the various yank trucks.
LR are not shy on changing specs if they feel the older stuff doesn't do the job. Just look at the unobtanium they recommend for the new stuff.

The problem with thicker oils AFAIK is that BW have an oil pump which can be damaged. What is the Vi of Moreys/Lucas.

I have had a pump shaft break in an LT95 from too thick oil.
And I like Lucas chain lube which made my Honda Hornet chain last over 30KK . But I sometimes think it is the attitude to maintenance that is the decider on these things.
Ps I have added at various times a small bit of Teflon and some Moly.

If you guys like Lucas why not us ethis.
