Re: (ET) rear end oil change

[Jim Coate <jbc coate org>]

I can't find the reference, but based on previous discussions I had used 
85/140 gear oil (not synthetic). I remember the old oil coming out 
impressed me as looking like bad coffee. I had a plan to change the oil 
again "soon" to eliminate the remains of the old goo, so I need to 
remember to do that.
