Gear Lube
Gear Lube
An anti-spin or posi differential requires an appropriate dose of special
anti-spin or pose additive. Otherwise, you will hear a clanking
coming from the rear of the car when turning. With some synthetic gear
lubes, the differential performed fine with out the additive.
Mobil 1 in a "C" posi rear currently made the
most horrible banging noises you could imagine. This would occur after
running on the straight highway and then stopping and making a turn. After
a loud "clang" it would loosen up and be OK until you did the
same routine again. I added the GM additive and it went away. So my
experience is that Mobil 1 needs the GM additive for use in posi rears.
