I am getting the oil changed in the rear end of my 1987fc. Does
anybody have any recomandations on what weight, and what brand of oil
to use?

What ever you put in make sure it is compatible. I changed mine the other
day and wanted to convert to synthetic if possible. Mine has Hypoid and the
stuff doesn't mix so to change over to synthetic is a real pain with lots
of work to get all the Hypoid out, everything cleaned up before synthetic
is put in. At least this is what I was told so I decided to go with the
original oil.

I was thinking of synthetic oil, but with the extra cost and hoping that
the mechanic follows the correct procedure. I think I will stick with
the original oil.

Thanks for the advice Randy. I just got my bird back from the shop. I
had a wheel seal replaced and while it was there I had the oil changed
in the rear end. So one side got cleaned up.

Ron: I've used synthetic gear lube in everything I own for the past
25 years. Synthetic gear lube is compatible with almost all non-syn
lube. In fact it's highly recomended in rig's like ours and almost all
pickup truck manufacturer's suggest that if your pulling or doing hard
work with you truck that you switch to synthetic gear lube. Nothing
special is required just drain and add the new. It's kind of like
putting the synthetic transmission fluid in, by the time it's been
changed twice it's all synthetic. In my 93pt I use amsoil 80W-140wt.
cost is $6.05/qt. I change it every two years. Bob 93pt Il.
