Are these synthetic.I use Valvoline 75W90, I'd be willing to bet Mobile 1 is fine.

any gear lube with a gl-4 or gl-5 rating .. I'm sure it is ok .. There isn't any difference in the dif lube for a honda m/c to a 3500 chevy truck. they all use the same stuffI have a 2007 ST1300. does anyone know if I can use Kawasaki 75W90 final drive lsd fluid in the rear diff? I happen to have a liter here I purchased for my Vulcan 1500 classic https://www.kawasaki.ca/en-ca/shop/maintenance/other-lubricants/20457/75w90-final-drive-lsd-fluid
That's what I was thinking, unless it wasn't normal gear oil in there to begin with... or there was some brass in there the fluid "ate"That looks almost like it got water in it somehow.
There’s no brass in the final drive.That's what I was thinking, unless it wasn't normal gear oil in there to begin with... or there was some brass in there the fluid "ate"
Wouldn't hurt to replace the o-ring on the fill cap. They do retain a permanent squash after a while and may lead to metal/metal contact around the perimeter.I have always replaced my gear oil about ever other engine oil change but I think I also get bored and change it with the engine oil just for grins... it's cheap and a bottle lasts a long time. Just don't over torque the drain or fill bolts.
I have no idea, never replaced one but good idea.Wouldn't hurt to replace the o-ring on the fill cap. They do retain a permanent squash after a while and may lead to metal/metal contact around the perimeter.
Just a note....these caps are the same as the valve covers that were used on the old Honda small bikes.
I used to replace a lot of these, back when I was restoring old Hondas. Seems pliers were the preferred tool for removing these caps.I have no idea, never replaced one but good idea.
What I like to do is mark the fill cap to the final drive casting before I remove the fill cap with a pencil mark, this way I don’t over over torque it with a 17 mm wrenchJust don't over torque the drain or fill bolts.
