So I’m about to break my first 1000 mi on my ‘18 HD10. The manual calls for full synthetic 75w 90 GL5 for both front and rear differentials. I’m a huge fan of Schaeffer Oil products, and an switching from Can-Am oils. Has anyone tried conventional gear oil or blend in their F/R diffs? What is your feedback if so? Thanks!!

I’m not saying CanAm XPS oils are inferior products, but I do believe better options are out there. I was curious if anyone else had tried other products, and with what kind of results. Front and rear differentials specifically. 🤙🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
