Spicer Transmission Lubrication
It is extremely important to use the proper lubricants and maintain the
correct oil levels in Spicer units. This will ensure proper lubrication
and operating temperatures in these units.
Recommended Lubricants
The lubricants listed below are recommended, in order of preference,
for use in all Spicer mechanical transmissions, auxiliaries, and trans-
fer cases. Do not use extreme pressure additives such as those found
in multipurpose or rear axle-type lubricants. These additives are not
required in Spicer transmissions, and may in some cases create
transmission problems. Multipurpose oils, as a group, have relatively
poor oxidation stability, a high rate of sludge formation, and a greater
tendency to react with or corrode the steel and bronze parts..
