Ford 3 Speed light duty manual transmission

Post by Fordinblue20 »

What Gear oil weight and brand are you guys putting in your 3 on the tree transmission? I have one in 1969 F250 and I do not want to put the wrong stuff in there.

To be specific, I've always just used Valvoline 75w-90 conventional gear oil. Non-synthetic, no special additives, just plain gear oil.
