Axles and wheel-bearings went out, and pinion-bearing spun. The bearing was blue/rainbow from heat. I will never use any weight but spec, or Royal Purple again, for this reason.

It may all be coincidence, but I'm not going to do it anymore.

yeah, I'm actually agonizing over whether to make the switch to the heavier weight gear oil or not, got the two bottles sitting in front of me right now on the counter.

I personally think you had problems mainly cause you used royal purple, that stuff is crap.

still...

arrgggg....
