keg1 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Can anyone tell me what is best to use. I thought I read somewhere you can use 50 weight synthetic like in a Fuller but Mack garage said it would burn it up. I talked to a transmission shop today and they said that's what they put in them. Just wondering what's best to use Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39349-mack-2090-gear-oil/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBullDog Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) I ran 50 weight in my fuller trans in the international I used to run, but Mack says 80/90 for my 2180. Thats what they put in the new trans at install,80/90 dino oil. The 80/90 is better for the Mack type synchros and splitter is what my Mack shop said.
