moser rear axle

[Scott7644]

I have 2 questions.
1) Has FFR thought about offering the Moser rear axle with a powder coated option? It would have been nice to have it already powder coated when I received it.

2) The FFR manual says to NOT use synthetic in the rear axle. The Moser rear axle shows up with a sticker on it that says "SYNTH. LUBE ONLY". I called Moser and they said that they do NOT use synthetic, that this is a requirement from FFR. So, what lube shoud we use in the Moser rear axle?

Here is what I posted on this forum a while back. I had the same concerns with regards to the diff. oil.

Just spoke to technical support at Moser earlier this week to address the gear oil issue. He stated that synthetic was not recommended and that the ideal oil is a non synthetic 80W90 with a Friction Modifier. He also stated that the Friction Modifier needs to meet the Ford factory specifications. I ended up purchasing 80W90 StaLube brand gear oil with the StaLube Friction Modifier. We will see how things work out.

The best non synthetic gear oil I ever used is Swepco.
