Guest outlaw car man Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Jay- Check the Model A Ford boys- They have a 600W rear end/ tranny oil that I use. Someone said it tested to like 160W. Called a F-330 or something, I have a qt in the shop I use to top off stuff. OCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Engle Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The heavier 140 to 160 gear oils will have less leakage at the torque ball than standard 80-90 weight. In cold weather, the syncronizers are a little stiff, take your time shifting below 32 degrees F.Bob Engle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I did a rear end and transmission flush on a 1931 Pierce-Arrow about 20 years ago and checked with Pennzoil techs about the replacement for 600 weight oil. This was their recommendation and I have a couple bottles in the garage: http://www.pennzoil.com/other-car-products/transmission-fluids-and-gear-oil/pennzoil-gearplus-sae-80w-90-gl-5/FYI, the PA had no drain for the rear axle. The carrier bolts did go into open threaded holes. I pulled a lower bolt and drained the really old stuff out. Then I drive the car 30 miles. After the first 30, I drained again and refilled. The third draining showed crystal clear so I was sure the flush was thorough.Nice way to drive a Pierce-Arrow a hundred miles and get paid, too!Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigersdad Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Thanks, for the help, guys. It looks like it's M-533. Snyder's carries it. Thanks, again!Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
