Using Marine Gear Oil in a Tractor

[Hot_Ajax]

Would it be cool to use marine grade 80W-90 synthetic in a tractor transmission? I have some new Amsoil laying around, hate to throw it away. Thanks.

What type of tractor ?

Overkill but if you no longer have an outboard or can use it in your automobile, why not use it.

its the tractor lube in outboard or I/O that would be bad idea. You will be fine.

What are the ratings on the oil ? What are the ratings needed on the tractor?

since we dont know what tractor the answer is a generic "No you wont be ok"

anyone that says its ok cant possibly know one way or the other.

I think most 80w90 lower unit oil is api gl-5.. which certainly isnt right in some tractors.. that use motor oil, hydraulic fluid, atf etc.

Now if your tractor calls for API GL-5 80w90 gear oil its ok.
