Re: (ET) oil stabilizer in differential (not in my tractors)

Hi All

The Lucas Oil Stabilizer is probably not a good idea for the transaxles and
personally I would be very careful about using any of the Lucas product, as
well as anything like that on Wallmart type stores. because they don't
actually lubricate they simple make the oil more viscous and as such
increase the load and steal power. True they will reduce noise but at a
significant cost. A much better solution is to put a premium Oil in the
transaxle. I would suggest the 50 weight Cen-Pe-Co or a 100% synthetic oil
product.  This like these will reduce drag as well as noise because the are
very high in high quality lubricates. Cen-pe-co is out of Ohio and the web
site is
