Gear lube
I rebulit the 14bolt 10.5" rear end in my Burb last week.
I've got about 1000 miles on it now, with traditional gear oil.
I want to switch out to synthetic now, specifically Amsoil. I also have an aluminum rear cover to install. I believe the cover adds a little more volume of gear oil, but I'm not sure how much.
So, my questions....
What's the best gear oil to use for my Burb that mainly acts as a DD (Daily Driver) and FH (Family Hauler)? I may tow on rare occasions, but probably never over 4000 lbs.
Does anyone know how much oil a polished rear cover adds?
Thanks guys!
