 Subject: GL3 Gear Oil????
IP: Logged
Message:
I have an AX-15 Tranny and it calls for 75W90 "GL3" Gear Oil. I was wondering if anyone could tell me who makes a GL3 Gear Oil besides Chrysler @$16.40 a quart. Supposedly the GL4 and GL5 has a corrosive effect on the brass syncro's due to the high ash content.

I went through the same thing. I know summit racing and JC Whitney caries an aftermarket version, but I am coming up blank on it. Check out the website. I took my truck to dodge and it was on $85 w/ labor and parts. It came out to be about $10 more than buying the stuff myself and doing it.
Also, check at a local bike shop. They use GL3 for the motorcyles also.

FYI - Gear Lube Information:
High quality gear oils must lubricate, cool and protect geared systems. They must also carry damaging wear debris away from contact zones and muffle the sound of gear operation. Commonly used in differential gears and standard transmission applications in commercial and passenger vehicles, as well as a variety of industrial machinery, gear oils must offer extreme temperature and pressure protection in order to prevent wear, pitting, spalling, scoring, scuffing and other types of damage that result in equipment failure and downtime. Protection against oxidation, thermal degradation, rust, copper corrosion and foaming is also important.
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 75W-90 Gear Lube delivers unbeatable protection and fuel economy (independent testing shows class 8 vehicles with AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 75W-90 Gear Lube in the differentials obtained up to 4.83 percent more mpg than vehicles equipped with another popular gear lube). Amsoil Synthetic Gear Lube has the film strength required to deliver all the protection heavy-duty and high-stress applications need in a fuel-saving viscosity grade. Recommended for use in all passenger vehicles, commercial trucks and race vehicles.
Series 2000 SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube (1) quart $9.20
SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube(1) quart $7.65
(Price is lower on both for preferred customers)

read your owners manual
you inbreed!
you warranty can and will be void for not following the car/truck makers oils guidlines
if it says use API certified oils then hey guess what?
and if it says oil changes done no longer then 7500 miles then hey guess what?
Not matter what the oil maker claims!
and infact! if you check scamsoils own written guidlines! they say 25,000 miles or longer but yet
READ GOOD! they also tell you to follow the auto/truck makers guidelines!
why? EASY! cause when the dealer denies your warranty claim an you then go to scamsoil
they can Stand their arms crossed and shake their heads NO!!!!!
cause hey they have it in writting too!
i swear you guys buy into this scamsoil crap like you was lemmings following him through a raging river!
they "the auto/truck maker" WILL NOT and DO NOT have to approve any warranty claims!
IF you DO NOT follow what is required for oil!
you were given everything in writing!
more proof needed? just ask

Though this is a gear oil thread and not an oil
thread I thought I would post the following for
the flamer.
The flamer is SO WRONG!
NOTICE TO EVERYONE
I LEARNED THE TRUTH ABOUT API AND AMSOIL
All vehicle manufacturers in the U.S. have agreed that a warranty cannot be denied because a customer was using any particular brand of oil that meets specifications, unless an engine failure was directly attributable to the fluid. If it is not a fluid related failure, they cannot void the warranty. The law supports this position.
Plus, the dealer/manufacturer has no way of telling what fluid you are using. How do I know? I am a former aircraft technician. I too was sceptical in the beginning. But now I am a believer.
Amsoil meets and exceeds API specs.
USE AMSOIL WITH CONFIDENCE!!!!!!!!!

At 16+ bucks a quart your thinking they only made 10? At least ya didn't get dirty. Probably well worth it on a front differential.
Just an opinion here.
The lube schedule seems like a dealer service department bonanza generated by the manufacture as they suck the owners in every 12k miles for a couple hundred or more bucks. If the synthetic crap is sooooo good, why don't it last? You think it might be due to poor materials or materials that don't compliment the mating parts?
I'm guessing its the sucker thing. Especially if they tell you that you need to be on "schedule b".
