Gear oil ?

[jason4570]

The only gear oil I can get in town for my gear case is "GL-5 mineral chain case oil" the phazer manual recommends "GL-3". Can I use the GL-5 gear oil?

i run amsoil 2000 chain case oil, a gl3 is for moderate conditions, a gl5 is for sever conditions, gl5 has a higher wear rating.. i would think you would be ok with a gl5.. amsoil is a gl5.

Hey thanks. what about it being mineral oil? Should I just go and get some synthetic?

that i dont know, the amsoil 2000 chaincase oil is clear like mineral oil but i dont know what it actually is made of...i dont think it is worth the risk..
