Richmond blue synthetic.

I've been using Amsoil Severe Gear 75w-90 for many years and have been happy with the results. It's in my Dodge dually also.

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.

Pick your favorite brand and use their synthetic gear lube. I've been using synthetic for years. No big warm up procedure, it's ready to go.

I switched to Strange US Gear 5.38 for Dragweek 2011. The tech guys at Strange said do not use any Synthetic Lube. They recomended Lucas. This was the first time on Dragweek that I didn't screw up a ring and pinion.

I use the Joe Gibbs 75W110 in my Ford 9". Came highly recommended from Wayne @ Indy Gear. So far so good!

I use one quart good synthetic, 1\2 quart synthetic auto fluid, and a pint of problend. It's a 5 speed unit, and mark williams center, with over 100 runs, 0 problems. Just me, and might not work for others.

Jim,

I have Mobile 1 synthetic in mine. So many runs I cant remember when I put the last ring and pinion in the car. I have also used Valvoline synthetic as well with similar results. I have a dana though.

Been using nothing but Mobil 1 synthetic gear lube for the past 2 decades. Current Richmond Pro R&P in my 9" with a MW "Pro Stock Assembly" 3rd member have 720 passes on them, 60 footing low 1.20s to high 1 teens.
