Subject: 75W EP Gear Lube


For those of you who have been looking for 75W EP gear lube for your classic 900 5-speed gearbox, I may have found a source. Since Castrol discontinued their 75W lube, most dealers have gone back to using the primary lubricant, 10W-30 motor oil. However, this can cause problems with gearboxes that have used 75W gear oil from the beginning. According to a number of mechanics, changing to 10W30 motor oil can cause failures in the gearbox shortly after the changeover. And, the new 75W90 gear lube, either petroleum-based or synthetic can cause shifting (synchronizer) problems when the lubricant is not up to operating temperature. I am currently looking into a 75W gear lube from an industrial supplier of lubricants. Hopefully, this may be the answer, once I have a chance to look at the spec sheet. Don Allen Urbana, IL
