BG syn Gear oil?

[08Alpha]

Didn't have the time to do all the oil changes before our trip out to West Yellowstone so I decided to let the local dealer service do all the work. 1st- last time I do that :holymoly it was expensive. 2nd I requested synthetic gear oil and they used
BG Ultraguard Syn. gear oil with the LSII friction modifier. Has anyone used the BG product? $26 a qt. I should have just done it myself, I know never again.

I personally have nothing but excellent results using any of BG's products that I've used..I don't know anything about their lubes oils though, but I am pretty certain that they are TOP quality.

BG Ultra-Guard™ BG Ultra-Guard™ is the first “true” multi-purpose gear oil available in the automotive market. It is a synthetic (Polyalphaolefin) gear oil blended to SAE 75W-90 viscosity and can be used in all car and truck axle applications calling for a GL-5 gear oil.

Installed a G2 Aluminum Diff cover on my H3 Alpha the other day, and I was very happy to see the fluid was still clean with 113k on my H3 Alpha, and the magnetic drain plug barely had any metal shavings on it. The diff cover is great quality, but apparently the hardware they supply with the diff cover isn't. At 8PM I find out the supplied bolts were to short and SAE vs Metric 8x1.25 35mm. I had to spend 1 1/2hr driving around to 4 different auto part stores in order to round up 10 bolts lol. If you get the diff cover make sure to have 10 8x1.25 35mm bolts handy.

I put Mobil1 Full Synthetic 75/90w which has LSD additive already in the gear oil. I did buy the additive as well, but I haven't added it. I've had great results with Mobil1 or Royal Purple gear oil. I would have tried some BG, but I couldn't find it locally.

I know dealer's and their prices are off the charts sometimes..but remember the old adage; "You get what you pay for":thumbs:

75W-90 oil can be very expensive
