I can't find the Schaeffer online, but Torco has a website and it looks like it would be $7 a liter (same as a quart, right?). I'm pretty sure I need 3 qts. for my 9 inch that is on the way. Bob at EPP just said to get any non-synthetic gear oil, but I always want what is best for the car, so I'm checking into this thread.
Do you guys think the Torco 85w140 is a good choice for a street/strip 9 inch car?
What is the advantage/differences between the 85w140 and the 80W90? Just wondering because some recommend any 80w90 dino oil, but the Torco oil recommended is 85w140.

If you are interested, PM me and I can forward you the Schaffer info.
Is the Torco 85/140 a good choice ?? Yup... sure is. If you dont get the Schaffer... the Torco would be my next recommendation. Currie will tell you the same thing... as will Mark Williams, Christman, DYNATrac and the others that actually pay attention.
85/140 has higher shockloading properties than that of the 85/90w. ANY and I mean ANY performance use differential (except those used in extream cold climates) and especially smaller differentials like the venerable 7.5".... will benifit from using 80/140 multi-vis or straight weight 140 oils.

A quick list; Schaffer, Torco or Amsoil. I recommend a 75-140 fpr performance use.

The 75w-140 would be the AMSOIL SVO Severe Gear
Either one of these would work well in any of these cars. I run the SVG 75w-90 in my Silverado rear end.

Sub 20*F. Its not a problem with gel'ing/freezing... its cold flow... nor would damage be a worry.
Case in point, a four wheel drive front differential and driving in snow. 90wt would be the way to go. Rear differential could use either 90 or better...
Cold flow can be eliminated by the warm up that you do. Wouldnt worry about it with driving smart.

What about a climate that gets REALLY cold and REALLY hot? Missouri weather sucks and it is often single digits during the winter and 100 in the summer. Would a multi-viscosity like the Torco be better in my climate?
And do you recommend the same ones for a 9 inch rearend?
Chicane, I read in another thread that lash might need to be adjusted for heavier gear oils...is this true with the Schaffer and Torco? I have no clue what this even means, but is it something I should even mess with? What is the advantage of adjusting it (or what will happen if I don't adjust it)?
Thanks!
