Thanks for the video. I was reading my Hagerty magazine. Read an article about gear lube and found out I was using the wrong gear lube in my 71 FJ40. I went and got the correct gear lube. I feel better now seeing your video.
KEEP 'EM COMING!! Please???? Too funny ,maybe 3!! As a spokesperson for " builds/ renovates / and custom fabs..." you got my vote!! Proof is in the walk,the action, The doing....! PERIOD!! Awesome job on this production ! C ya on the next video ! 👍🦊🧙♂️🐺🤙
I'm glad someone sed it lol. I've ran whatever I had in the shop which was usually Valvoline or Napa (same thing)for 45 years. T90 T18 T14 T150 Spicer 18,20 Dana 300 and everything else . NEVER HAD A PROBLEM OF ANY KIND!!!!!!! It's like he sed you will have to rebuild or tear it down for other reasons before the new gear oil will cause any issues with your brass!
I run a 1991 Dodge 12 valve with a 5 speed standard, Getrag 360, and the manual calls for 5W-30 motor oil. Just like the song says, "the more I know, the less I understand". Lol
Old EP (extreme pressure) additives were sulfur-based and could eat yellow metals. For years and years the sulfur, if present, has been passivated so that it won't chemically react.
Old transmissions and transfer cases seem to run on pretty much any modern lubricant. Later model manuals I get leery about, like NV4500's and NSG370. I feel better using the highfalutin lube the manufactures recommend for those ones.
I ran into an issue with the NV4500 in my 01 Cummins powered Dodge where the original oil that was ostensibly safe for the carbon fiber synchros is 32 bucks a quart, and it’s impossible to find. The recommended oil from Mopar is ATF+4, which I ran for several months and had an overdrive bearing and gear failure. I threw a new unit at the truck and the manufacturer recommended 70 w 90 full synthetic, which I ran up until I rebuilt it after 100k miles due to an intermediate shaft and synchro problem. After the rebuild, I’ve continued to use 70 w 90, and it appears that everything the internet had to say was based off rumors from the early 2000’s and nobody actually had real experience on the matter. I’ve found that guys who are worried about stuff like oil ruining something are scared and stupid.
Nv4500 and other newer manual transmissions have different synchronizers with different oil requirements. This video is only talking about vintage stuff from the 40-70’s
@@redeyecafegarage7484 No I get it, it’s funny that people are worried about gear oil for 70 year old transmissions, but it’s the same song and dance for new transmissions. Nv4500’s required a specific oil from mopar or acdelco, but since they quit making it Mopar now recommends ATF+4. I ran that for 15k miles and had to re-do my overdrive bearing and 5th gear/countershaft gear. I switched over to 75w90 full synthetic after the shop I bought a reman unit required it. I’ve run that stuff for 200k and it’s not killed my carbon fiber synchros. Frankly I’ve never had a problem with the carbon fiver liner failing on synchros, only the teeth getting worn. The problem is, most people are afraid to rebuild a transmission, or they think they’re made of glass.
Everybody thinks jeeps are cool at one point. Growing up, many run into a lot of ''jeep people" and decide they don't want to be associated with them, sounds like the oil issue exemplifies this. and i'ts not everybody, but it's a decent amount.
From my experience if every group in every niche no matter what the topic. The internet has turned people into negative argumentative grumps. It’s a real shame. It hasn’t always been like this. And….. it’s definitely not just Jeep groups.

Good for you. Betcha had a few thoughts before you shot this. I use GL1 but I may try the GL4 next time.
I’ll suggest knuckle lubrication as a topic for a future “Get Real.”
We can add that to the list.
I use CV joint grease. 2 tubes per side. Done.
To quote Walter Cronkite "And that's the way it is". Great video on relating your experiences-knowledge, thanks Seth. Geoff.
Great video!! Thank you for sharing! I agree 100% with you. Use whatever engine/gearbox oil that you want, or can afford.
Amen!! 👏 👏
Get Real segments. Yes please. 👍👍
Go make memories. Good motto.
Oh My......this was fun 😀

Yeah the getrag isn’t picky on oily type but it does like to be overfilled. Motor oil is all ya need. 👍
I like your transparency and humor.
Thanks Scott!

Good luck convincing the internet of those facts 😆
@@redeyecafegarage7484 Especially if they're a trucker!
Any oil is better than no oil! That's my rule.
Amen!
What’s to get triggered about? He shared his experiences and results with oil and gear boxes, file it away and move on.
Oh you would be surprised…. Follow along. 😆 😊

Yeah this video is talking about old school 100 year old technology…. Brass. Cast iron transmissions with brass synchros.
I just run 15w40 engine oil and change it once a year. My old CJ doens't get enough mileage to break it down by use.
Excellent! Keep Her slippery and have fun!

The stuff KW sells is the best eh!? What a twist! 😂
Awww Dan has a problem with something I posted. Haha… what a twist.
Real talk isn’t real if there’s a paid agenda. Not a twist 🤷🏻♂️
Paid influencers claiming to have “the real deal”
That’s not a twist.
💯
The same person who cares so much about you and what oil you run, probably doesn’t hold the door open for an old lady at the bank. Lol
True story! And I bet they don’t put their cart away either! 😆
Is generic 80 W 90 Okay to use? I don't have a jeep. JW
I realize it doesn't have much additives in it, but i was thinking that would be at least as good, if not better than what they ran in the 40's
So, for personal use??
@@godfreypoon5148 hahaha. No I mean In jeeps. Just don't have one myself

No it isn't, but canola oil is.
I only get triggered when I see people running Fram extra guard filters... Orange Can of Death
But why would you
Care about what oil filter people run? New flash…. Fram filters won’t hurt your Jeep engine either haha!
I've been using Fram filters almost exclusively for 30 plus years with zero issues.
@@LuminousBlueVariableyeah fram is fine. People just love to freak out.
Please take your common sense and logic and leave the internet.👍
Haha that’s sounds about right.
