Re: Overdrive oil

["John Macartney" <standardtriumph@btinternet.com>]

I'm just wondering whether there isn't some confusion here between 80W/90wt
*gear* oil and 80w/90wt *hi-press* oil as found in diffs?
Like Jim Davis, I've always favoured the factory spec as shown in the
handbooks and I've been using that oil spec since 1962 - without any
problems at all. After nearly 43 years of totally reliable service on mainly
'A' type overdrive units, I'm singualrly disinclined to use an alternative
oil spec - and regardless of who recommends it, or why.
