Re: transmission/overdrive oil for R-9

I can say after having used EP oils in the differential of a 34 that my ring gears got quite pitted. Now, was this due to the oil, or something else, I can't say. But the corrosion of parts while soaked in oil was somewhat mysterious. Interestingly, they ran quite silent. Also saw corrosion in a bronze steering gear bushing, though that may have been pressure due to a worn out front end.

Just my observations on EP oils and bronze.
