Will consider for sure-above the 49th parallel peelings are plentiful!

A long, long time ago, a friend of mine would use sawdust and banana peels. I
would not suggest you try this.

Yes the bearings are splash-fed. The weight of the oil will not affect the
lubrication to the bearings as the lower number is the same. I doubt using oil
with a higher upper number will have any beneficial effect. Better to have the
diff set up properly as others suggest though if you have been running the set
for some time then the gears may already be worn in to each other and you may
not be able to have the R & P set reshimmed, etc.

Subject: [Healeys] SAE 140 Use In Differential To Reduce Noise?
Hello All,
The differential on my 1966 BJ8 starts to whine once I have driven for
several miles, and everything has warmed up to normal operating temperature.
It only occurs during accelerator pedal movement down (under load). The
whining diminishes during coasting or deceleration.
The differential is filled with Penrite 80W 90 mineral gear oil. (Recently
changed).
I am considering replacing my differential gear oil with Penrite SAE 140
mineral gear oil. (Note no 'W' prefix; it is straight SAE 140). This product
claims it will reduce differential noise in older vehicles. I wonder if it
is suitable for our Healeys?
I seem to recall reading on the List that our rear wheel bearings are splash
lubricated by differential oil, but cannot find any reference to that in my
workshop manual. Is that correct? I'm concerned that if that is the case,
will the SAE 140 be too viscous to splash lubricate the rear wheel bearings
effectively?
Would I be better of using a gear oil additive like Nulon G70 instead?
Any shared thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards, Graham Wilkie.
BJ8 Moruya NSW Australia.
