I use that in all the rearend I build that use spools, lockers, or welded. It works great. I use the heavy stuff. It is equal to 75w250 oil /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif

I use it too. It is awesome stuff. I run it in both my welded 14bff and also my locked 10 bolt front. It is great stuff and I recommend it highly.

How well does this stuff work in winter?!

I mean, the 75 should mean it flows just as good as any other gear oil- but the 250- wow. Might be worth it for a tow rig.

Do we have any redline dealers on here?

I found a local place thats sells it for about $95 a case does that sound about right for the 75W250/75W - Heavy Duty? Thats $8.something a quart

It did fine for me when I spent the winter in Colorado a few years back. The great stuff about that gear oil is once it coats the metal surface there is ALWAYS a film of gear oil on the metal.

If you park you rig for a few days there will still be a gear oil film on the top of the gears that is above the fluid level.

The funnel I use to fill my diffs with that stuff keeps a film of oil on it for months. It doesn't completely go away. Metal to metal contact is basically a thing of the past with that oil.

It is definitly a thick gear oil but it flows fine once it warms up a little. Shouldn't be a problem with winter driving. The inside of the diff will still get warm enough to heat the oil up to a good flow thickness.
