I plan on being in the Orlando & Sebring area the 3rd week of January & am looking for a place where I can purchase either the spectro heavy duty 6 speed or the redline with shockproof

 

[Ken S.]

Can that Spectro 6 speed go in a five speed?

I have a dealer for it about ten miles from me.

 

[glider]

It can be used in either. It's a GL5 and they make one for the 5 speeds also. Check out the oil section in the self help area.

I use Spectro 6.

They make a Spectro for the 5-speed trans. No need to use the Spectro 6 in the 5-speed.

I wonder if the Spectro importer here has the 6 speed. I used to use Spectro in my old Sporty many moons ago. I have some left from when I did a bulk buy. I now use it in my lawn mower.

Hey glider, my owners manual says to use part no. 99851-05 whitch is 20/50 engine oil according to the amsoil chart. Is this rite? Should I put the 75/140 in the primary and trans?

 

[glider]

Engine oil is for engines, gear oil is for transmissions.The one size fits all doesn't cut it in real life. That part number you posted is the Formula+ from HD and you can use it in the primary, I would use a gear oil because of the differences in the composition between the two in the trans like Spectro platinum, redline shockproof or Mobil 1 75/90 or 75/140 but all gear lubes and in the trans.

Thanks glider. I have amsoil 20/50 in all (3) at this time. I am going to change the trans to 75/140. I am in 4 feet of snow and -20 (fargo nd) so it will be some time before I have the chance to try it. I have a question on the GL rateing for gear lube. They go from GL-1 to GL-5. Is the GL-1 lube the best for the trans or should I go to a higher number? We use GL-4 or 5 in the auto industry.
