I swear to god... Gear oil has got to be the most foul smelling liquid known to man... I'd rather be covered in rotting anything than that crap... I just changed it if you can't tell. >.<

what kind/brand did you use? was it for the tanny?

yeah, he is talking about trans fluid.. he used mobil 1 synthetic 75w-90.

it doesnt smell THAT bad, and how they hell did you get any on yourself.. n00b. nana.gif

eh, doesnt bother me at all really. only time it gets bad is when your changing out some in a 25 y.o truck that is still what they put in when it was brand new...... thats when it's bad....

I think its pretty bad. Not unbearable, but still pretty bad. Like someone just ate an egg and farted bad. lol

yeah caj's smelled pretty bad, and i believe it was original judging by the BLACK color.

I used to think gear oil was bad.. until they opened up my septic tank to pump it this morning....

I hope that is GL-4 compatible because that's what you need. A GL-5 lubricant is not suitable for our transmissions.

Yah, gear oil is nasty.

My original gear oil smelt the worst, the new oil and subsequent used oils werent nearly as bad.

Somebody mentioned gear oil in old trucks, i can attest to that.

While working at wal-mart, i was in hardware, 2 departments away from the TLE bay, the idiots managed to somehow break the differential open on a circa 1970 truck and good god, it stunk up the whole god-damn store.

It was a walmart super center and you could smell it from across the store and in my department it was so thick it was hard to breathe, customers kept telling me about it like i didn't notice it lol, some people thought it was propane or rotten eggs, i knew before they announced it that it was gear oil.

Terrible stuff...

Tiburon gear oil isn't bad. I've smelled worse.

Now the stuff in the hubs of a military humvee smells horrible. I think it's like straight 90W. Nasty assed stuff.
