More on Lubrication

Posted by D Bockman on July 21, 1998 at 16:27:02

There have been many comments on steering box, transmission and rear-end lubrication using a 600 viscosity oil. Here is one more I like very much.Texaco "Meropa 680" The viscosity is 680 and it meets AGMA 250.04 requirements for gear oil. I have conducted a few non-scientific tests with this product and others and have foundit to be more viscous and has better "stick" than the product sold by Vintique INC"gear lubricant" for $3.75 per quart. (It even looks better than their black stuff!!)It is available in 35 lb. pails (5 gallons) for $24.00 (That is a little over $1 per quart). The product code is: 02342.The chemical data:Toluene = 0.01 to 0.09 %; Solvent deasphalted residual petroleum oils = 50.00 to 64.99 %; and Hydrotreated C25 Bright stock-based lubrication oil = 35.00 to 49.99%.The Texaco distributor checked the specs with the Vangard synthetic products and found this one to be equal or better and at one fourth the price.It works for me and my transmission doesn't leak! ( well not as bad anyway! )
