John Hamilton Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Just bought some 600W for my 1930 Packard from Mac's. It was $8/qt + freight to Texas of $2/qt. Came within about 4 days. They're a good company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abh3usn Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Model A Fords used 600 weight in the steering gear. Any Model A Ford parts supplier should be able to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Here is the 600 weight gear oil that I use. Lubriplate SPO-299. Usually about $12.00/ quart(2 pound plastic bottle) plus shipping. This is a link to their information and company addresses. If you call them they should be able to direct you to a local distributor.http://www.lubriplate.com/Online-Store/Automotive-Products/SPO-299-one-quart-bottle.aspx Edited October 5, 2013 by Larry Schramm (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
