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

[John Casey <jjcrmc optonline net>]

I also used Mobil 1 synthetic for more than a year w/o leaks.but chickened
out and removed last Fall in favor of the usual 85-140 gear oil with Motor
Silk manual trans fluid (58ozs and 6ozs respectively).  I think the Motor
Silk quieted the trans a bit.
