Re: [Chrysler300] Differential gear oil redux





If you can't find 90w oil at the chain stores, try a shop that specializes in rebuilding rear axles. They may give you a couple of quarts for free, or at least point you in the right direction.

Hell All --

In spite of the long thread regarding gear oils a few weeks ago, I am still unclear regarding a simple question:  Is it OK to use Mobil 1 (or any other major brand) synthetic 75w-90 LS GL-5 gear oil in the differential of my 1957 Chrysler 300C?   Careful reading of their MSDS shows it contains an extreme-pressure sulfur-bearing compound, but I don't know if my diff has any brass/bronze parts that might possibly be compromised.  Automotive chain stores around here don't even carry the old GL-4 stuff any more; only the GL-5 lubes specifically targeted for limited-slip use (which I don't have). 

Thanks for any insights.
