Subject: Re: Castor Oil for 14/60 gearebox & rear axle
No clean is out and use SAE 30 on the gearbox and EP 90 for the back axle.
If you suspect castor oil has been used, smell it and I suggest you wash the gearbox/axle with real turpentine - not white spirit.
The biggest worry is lubrication of the layshaft bearing in the gearbox.
Do other readers agree with my thoughts? Feel free to challenge me...
