Is it acceptable to use 80w 90w gear lube in the rear axel and transmission of my 32 Buick 57S?

32 Buick reference book calls for 160w in the summer.

thank you,

Jim Jordan

80/90 weight gear oil will work just fine in your 1932 Buick. Just maintain the correct levels. Too high and the transmission will leak more ( they always leak some) and the differential will leak onto the brakes with a hgih level ( seals are only a felt ring at the hub).
