I have installed some series 3's and was wondering which oil people recommend. Do i just use what the service manual says for the sierra or do they require something different.
Cheers
Simon.

What oil for Rockhopper / Calmini Gears.
What oil for Rockhopper / Calmini Gears.
Hookers are like bowling balls, You pick them up, put your fingers in them, then throw them in the gutter and they come back for more.
There are mixed opinions about this - various authorised workshops seem to run 140w in them, whereas the info card that comes with the gears states "as per the vehicle manufacturers recommendation" which is 90w
I think the 140w is mostly to keep the noise down on noisy gearsets.
The series 4 car I have at my place ATM has very quiet gears and has 90w in it.
I think I would run high quality 90w for a while and then go synthetic once I knew it wasn't going to break or leak. IMHO 140w is for tractors and harleys (oops, same thing)
Just my 2c worth.

i just run standard weight with my series 3 everything thing else is so noisey i cant hear a damn thing anyway let alone any gear whine 
84 model hardtop, 86in wb, 36 iroks, locked front and rear, lux diffs, exo, power steer, fuel injected 4k corolla 1.3,auto transmission ,2in wheel spacers,3/4 elliptic rear
i also dumped a heap of morey's heavy duty oil stabiliser in with the 90W gear oil, it's really tacky stuff and it's a sure thing that everything is well lubricated then too..
i also use morey's as assembily oil for these so they dont run dry on the initial drive waiting for the oil to splash around ........my 2 cents
