Which Gear Oil Do I Use?
It's time to change the gear oil in the rear differential in our Suzuki Ozarks.
The manual says to use SAE90 GL-5 gear oil--or if riding a lot with temperaturess below 32 degrees F then use SAE80.
Problem is that I can't find either of these gear oils anywhere. The closest I can find is SAE80-90. Is it okay to substitute one of these? Everything is multiweight around here.
BUT LET ME GUESS... My Suzuki dealer probably has "special" SAE90 gear oil for $50/QT as opposed to the $5/QT stuff at the autoparts stores and I need to buy the Suzuki brand stuff, right?
What does everyone else use?
