P eeew.
Just changed the rear dif fluid on 85 300D...and I read that it could really stink. WOW.Had to wash hands like 5 times with smelly soap to get that stink out. The garage stinks from the used paper towels from wiping the grease...Can't wait to dump the old stuff at the Mobil station...
btw used Napa Premium Performance gear oil like 80- 85W from the specs at the AP store.

That is why I do work with good quality nitrile gloves.
BTW, you do remember the jokes about the whale sperm that was supposed to be used in lube or was it the additives?

Take a whiff of gear lube used for LSD diffs. Stinks like crazy even when new. Some shops only stock the LSD oil since it works well with open diffs also. Once you smell it, you will never forget that odor.

The odor is nearly identical, at least to me, to natural gas. Even the Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear oil! (thats what we use) Perhaps the dino smells differently....but the synthetic stuff is definatley close to a natural gas smell....

Yeah not only does it stink it always runs down my arms, yuck. That job along with the trans fluid will be farmed out next time around.

This was actually pretty easy. The Napa comes in a 1 qt soft plastic bottle with a long tip that fits in the fill hole. Just squeeze the bottle until it fills up.
Both bolts came out pretty easy with a shot of liquid wrench, and my new 14mm allen wrench from HF. Never serviced the tranny. I plan to take it to an A1 tranny shop I know for a service call....

I've had all kinds of oil in my hair, it's nasty crap. You go to shower and the water turns BLACK from your head alone.
