Default Re: Ring & Pinion Lube

For about three years I have been experimenting with Lucas products. I thought since Lucas is such a positive company for drag racing I would try the products.

So far I am very happy. My 12 bolt rear with 5.38 gears look like new after 150 runs. The 4.57 gears in 9" are the same. Engine bearings in a 408 SBC and 496 BBC are perfect. Two different powerglides look great after a full season.

I use the following Lucas products
*20w/50 "Plus" engine oil
*Semi-synthetic assembly lube
*Semi-synthetic ATF
and to answer your question about rear gear oil
*HD 80w90

I am satisfied Lucas is a good company with good products. It may require some shopping but can usually be bought at competitive pricing.
