Hello,
My Dad has a Kubota 105X tractor, and I'm planning on changing the front axle case oil. The owner's manual calls for either Kubota UDT fluid or 80W-90 gear oil to be in the front axle.
I have been shopping around my local auto stores, Rural King, and TSC for a good gear lube. The better quality 80W-90 gear lubes are ranging anywhere from $9 to $14 a quart! I need eight quarts! Whew!
Rural King has Mystik 85W-140 in stock for only about $2.79 a quart. The back of the bottle makes it sound like good stuff, but I am concerned with the viscosity. Is 85W-140 gear oil too thick for an application calling for 80W-90 gear oil?
I would be grateful for any thoughts, comments, and opinions.
Thanks
