Gear box oil what can i use????help!!!?

can engine oil be used in a gear box?what would happen if it were done?Gear box oil what can i use????help!!!?
Gear box as in differential, or transmission? Either one, no.





Transmissions use something like 80-90W, or auto tranny fluid like my Beemer did.





Diffs usually take 90W hypoid.





BUT, this varies. You need to find out what is supposed to be in there. Since you didn't mention what year and car you have, I don't know.Gear box oil what can i use????help!!!?
some honda transmissions run on engine oil, but as others mentioned, wthout knowing what car or transmission style it is, theres no easy way to answer. most manual boxes use hypoid. if you're after automatic tranmission oil, go to any petrol station and on the oil shelf there will be ATF (automatic transmission fluid) some types also state that they can be used in power steering systems too.
I cannot say year make model and miles please? Manual or auto trans? Like asking a doctor to be blind folded and wearing mittens and ear plugs. to diagnosis your condition Some trnasmissions can live on motor oil some will fail almost right away.
hard to say. no, you can't use engine oil, but there are a number of fluids that go into gear boxes depeding on the manufacturer and model.





gl4, gl5, gl5s, gearlube, ATF
i do not think moter oil will damage your transmission,how ever you should drain it and replace with proper oil.
no engine oil! it either uses transmission oil or 90 weight gear oil.
