Ford recommended 90 weight gear oil. Do not put grease in your transmission.

The gear oil weight 90 should work. The important thing to remember is that you want the oil to have a low GL number. GL-1 to GL-3 should work. Why a low GL number --- your synco is made of brass and any GL number 4 and about will eat the brass. Also-- try the Search option on the V-8 Forum --- upper right side, blue box. Enter Key Word - gear oil, In the past- from pull down menu ALL, then click Search (you do not need to fill in any other field) Lots to read up on the subject.....................

Went to NAPA and Autozone so far and all they have is GL 4-5. Autozone had Penns oil GL 4 but for Chevy. Where can I buy the GL 3-4 for our transmissions? Thanks

Check around for a Tractor Supply store. They still have to sell the GL1 to GL3 due to the number of old tractors being used. They good news/bad news is that they only sell it in 5 quart containers...................so, when some leaks out, you will have some to refill.

Hi Ken, Happy New Year. Read my post. Contacted NAPA. By the way the carb I got from you is fantastic.

In my 1939 Deluxe Tudor with the stock transmission, I use Sta-Lube SAE 140 API/GL-4. I do not drive in the winter. The Sta-Lube web site states that this oil is non-corrosive to brass and copper. I order it from Amazon. Larry

Thanks Larry, I just opened this up to tell everyone that Tractor Supply doesn't have it either. I went on Amazon earlier but just scouted out trans oils which were all GL 4 and 5. No one seems to have 1-3 anymore. I'll look at what you've suggested and since I only drive around 500 miles a year will probably buy it.

HI 36 CONV SEDAN I think GEAR OIL # 90 weight is too light, that's for Modern transmissions, it will leak out more ? I drained a few old FORD transmissions and # 90 was not drained out, it was much heavier, thicker gooier if you drain out your transmission, check with a magnet on a stick and check for particles in the drain bucket and compare that oil to # 90 I just bought 14o weight from AMAZON, comes in 1 gallon does the transmission and the rear end, you might want to check this out, my 2 cents,37RAGTOPMAN

You can purchase SAE 90W Mineral Gear Oil API GL-1 at NAPA. It is available in 1 gallon containers under part number 65-201. I use this oil in my '53 Ford 3-speed with overdrive transmission. If your local NAPA store doesn't have it in stock, they can order it for you.
