transfer case oil ? gear to gear style

[sweetk30]

so i scored a 5 gal bucket of this oil and figure maybe i can use it in my 203 / 205 setup .

any good info as to yes or no would be great .

I’d find their similar gear oil and check the difference in the additives on the spec page

we use ISO 460 for our equipment, all of it factory spec’ed, and each of those units on that spec? Worm gear drive

If you don’t see a “GL4” or “GL5” rating on it I wouldn’t use it.

I'd run it. Its viscosity index is higher than the oils you normally use, which means its going to be bad at high speed runs down the highway, but for low speed high load runs like snowplowing, or crawling, it should be great.
It has a lower pour point than the regular oils, so cold weather should not be a problem.
I would not run it in any transmission which needs exact viscosity for shifting.
Plus it costs about $100 per gallon, so how many folks here can say they run that much money just in oil in their trucks?

Here are the specs on it, and the specs on normal oils.

Gear to gear=no clutches not much to go wrong I'd go with it. If some guys run atf and some 80-90 and neither have problems with their 205s.the seals would be my only concern.
