Below is a cut and past from The Filling Station website:
Additives in modern gear oils will attack the bronze bushings in early differentials & transmissions. Caution! USING MODERN GEAR OILS CAN DAMAGE YOUR TRANSMISSION OR DIFFERENTIAL. Our 600W gear oil is specially formulated to be used in 1936 & earlier transmissions, differentials, shackles & steering boxes from the 1920's & mid 1930's.

Thank you for providing this great information! Owners of historic cars must be mindful of the possible damage that current gear oils can do to classic components. The 600W gear oil you indicated appears to be a good alternative for protecting the integrity of early transmissions and differentials. It's fascinating to note Jay Leno's support for Red Line MTL, but I think that application specificity is critical—especially for older engines. It's excellent that you did your research and discovered several sources for 600-weight oil; having options is always beneficial! If you haven't already, contact The Filling Station or the other vendors for more precise advice depending on your model and requirements. They may be able to advise you on which of their items would be most suited to your vehicle. Best of luck with your restoration, and keep us updated on your decision!
