I've used the Heavy in my Alphas on my Formula for years- never a problem- recommended by RedLine. Very good lube!

I think everyone sells it for the same rice right around $8/qt
if you go to www.racerwholesale.com you can get 10% off if you buy a case....thats about the only discount i have found on it anywhere.. :)

We run the "Heavy" in our IMCO SC's...so far so good!

I use the Shockproof heavy in my XZ drive. What I noticed first about it, was it shifted in and out of gear easier. I bought it at www.myoilshop.com. It is priced at $7.75 a quart.

Mike, Whaaaatsupp, How was the snowmobile trip?

something to choose from
 

Redline gear oil stinks!!
 

It literally smells horrible. It works great, but stinks!! :D

Amsoil motor oil smells pretty good and racing fuel smells great, but Red Line gear lube stinks!!:p

OH GOD! I love the smell of Cam 2 racing fuel :drool:

Shockproof is a GL5 lube with about 3% limited slip additive. It's useful in systems with hypoid gearsets calling for up to 140 weight mineral oil. Heavy is what you want to use in a noncompetitive application. The Light's are for applications where minimum drag is required and durability is not an issue. E.g., racing applications where teardowns are frequent. It's called Shockproof because the calcium base provides some amount of shock loading relief. So, the impression that an outdrive shifts with less engagement shock makes sense. I'm going to put this into my outdrives but have a problem, no available hydro hoist at the moment. So, no access to any drain plugs in the water.

Question: can anyone tell me if the OD fluid is circulated via the engine bay reservoir? If so, I intend to change it the same as power steering fluid. Remove the return line and route it to a collection point, engage the drive, and fill the reservoir with the new fluid until the exiting fluid changes color.
