 Posted: Sun Apr 15, 2012 1:00 am Post subject: Silicon oil. |
 |
|
Can I use silicon oil (only thin layer) for conservation transmission and another gear boxes before final assembly on the frame?
And second question: Can I use 80W140 oil for all transmission without any risk?
Thank you for answers. |

| Why don't you use the proper recommended SAE 90 gear oil with low sulphur content? |

| Because guy who is restoring jeeps in Holland recommends me this kind of oil. My question was just to be sure that is correct. |

Do not use silicon grease or silicon spray lube in a mechanism that is normally operated on a petroleum base oil. The silicon can never be completely flushed out of the system. If you want a temporary preservative use LPS3 or the equivlent.
You can use the modern multigrade gear oils like 80W140 but you must select a brand that clearly states their oil's sulpher content is low enough not to harm non-ferrous metals like brass synchro rings in your transmission.

Thank you Wesk. Till now I used spray silicon on some parts in transmission, so I hope that it is no big problem or have I to clean it again?
In my country supplier doesn´t know LPS3, i must try to find other equivalent. |
