    Chief Transmission and Primary Oil

    Hi everyone I was just doing my spring service work on my 39 Chief and was wondering what oil everyone uses in their Chief Trans/Primary cases. Thanks for any and all replies. Hope everyone is making good use of the recent good weather.

    I've used straight 30 weight non-detergent and 20w-50 sport transmission oil synthetic that is made to use with clutch and noticed no difference .
