What weight gear oil? Dwight E. Giles, Jr. 1978 240D 4 speed. 218K miles. 1979 240D- auto -250K + miles. (SOLD). 1990 300D 2.5t 160K miles.

Some days I wonder. The noise is a little quieter today. I'd put in Mobil 1 gear oil some time ago but I did it with the car on ramps facing down the slight incline of my driveway (it was already making noise before) so yesterday I faced the car up the incline and jacked up just the driver's side (used a jack stand have no fear). I probably got 1-4 more ounces of gear oil in using that method and the diff is slightly (but noticably) quieter... That at least helps prove to me its the diff and not maybe a rear wheel bearing. The noise is similar to but more resonant that the noise you'd get from a bad front wheel bearing. -Curt Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 08:48:05 -0700 From: Alex Chamberlain apchamberl...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] If its not one thing its another...

Re: [MBZ] If it's not one thing it's another...
Does Mobil 1 come in more than one weight? I dunno offhand. The car made the noise before the Mobil 1, I didn't really expect the change to fix worn bearings. I'm just sort of hoping it'll mask some noise for awhile. Sort of like the old bacon trick. Speaking of which... ;) -Curt Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 16:18:55 -0400 From: Dwight E.

Re: [MBZ] If it's not one thing it's another...
I don't know. Regular dino gear oil used to come in 90 and 120. WE used 120 to quiet a noisy dif with 90. Don't know about bacon-some old timers used a bit of sawdust.

Re: [MBZ] If it's not one thing it's another...
Curt, Dwight, et al. In Olde Yingland, we used cut up nylon stockings to thicken up the diff. oil and quieten down the howling. Also provided some lubrication. On the 87 190DT I changed the diff oil to 85W90 M1 and it has slowly gone quiet. About 5k miles, so far so good. Had a slight whine at 35-40 steady throttle, now gone. Squirrelly Olde English Nut.
