Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Now print that out, staple it to your forehead, and go see the nice man at the parts store.Ok, so:
Motor Oil: 15w-40 Detergent
Transmission & Transfer Case: 40w Oil NON-DETERGENT
Differentials: GL-5 80w-90
The "Red Label" looks as though its 30w not 40w per their website. The "Blue Label" appears to be 40w and it doens't specifically list the oil as "non-detergent" as the red labelled 30w did. Clarification needed please.Yes gl-5 for the axles and 40wt non detergent motor oil for the transmission and transfer case. If you have a tractor supply near by get the red labeled traveler 40wt oil. Its the non detergent variety. Then go grab a bucket of the traveler 75-90wt (I believe that's the weight) gear oil. That will cover everything but the engine.
lmaonow print that out, staple it to your forehead, and go see the nice man at the parts store.
Just go to tractor supply and read the label. The blue bottle is standard motor oil. Red label is non-detergent. The 40wt is usually only sold in 2 gallon jugs not quarts.The "Red Label" looks as though its 30w not 40w per their website.

Except that Rockwell specifies detergent oil for transfer cases.No filter > non detergent, filter >detergent.
Which puts us back to square-one!Except that Rockwell specifies detergent oil for transfer cases.
Yup I'm done with this thread. If you can't read this one or the 15+ other threads and make a decision then I don't know what else to tell you.Not really. You originally asked what was best. Some pretty good advice was given.
OTOH, these are old, primitive trucks. The lube that was current when they were new works fine, and anything newer (i.e., 'better') works, too.
So, pick your poison and go to town. It does not really matter.
