Redline 75W-90 (GL-5) can be used in the rear diff, correct?

i have seen some info indicating synthetic oil is not suitable for gear lubrication....
while it works well in a pump fed system like an engine. it's low friction doesn't splash well so the upper part of a gearbox may not get sufficient lube.

Look asshol*, I just pointed him to someone who has experience not opinions!
And opinions are like *******s, everyone has at least one.
Experience is not something everyone has.
So take a friggin break oilboy.

We did not have good luck with redline is some applications we used it on Audis
at the shop I worked at. Your advice was correct. Not sure why he took it the wrong way.

Well, it was posted as a response to me.You seem frustrated & confused, "must call StasiS", lol.
Thinking some guy needs to call a race prep tuner before he changes diff oil is downright OCD/stupid.

Not all of them. Certinaly not G 052 726 A2, 75w-90 GL-4.
Diff lube is not rocket science, it's in fact the simplest feat of Audi ownership. G-5 is the spec and suitable lube can be found at a hardware store. I stand by the DuraBlend recommendation. Splash it with 90w-140 if heavily modded.<ul><li><a href="http://theoildrop.server101.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=699549&an=0& page=0#Post699549">http://theoildrop.server101.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=699549&an=0& page=0#Post699549</a</li></ul>
