Never substitute SAE Crankcase oil for SAE Gear
oil. Gear oil has EP additives that protect the gears from scuffing.
Always choose an oil that has the proper GL
ratings. Check your owners manual for the correct GL rating.
Pay
attention to all your drivetrain temperatures.
It wise to record temps after each track session.
The
higher drivetrain temperatures that are seen in road
racing applications generally require higher viscosity
oils.
Vehicles
that are being road raced require race car maintenance
and all drivetrain oils should be inspected after each
race and changed if the oil is dark or stinky.
