Hey gang, quick but stupid questions. I just finished all my spring service (also my 50hr service) on my BX2370 except one last thing I wanted to run by everyone. My manual says to use SAE90 weight on my 60" gear box when changing the fluid. Is SAE90 the same as 80w-90? I cant find anything that is just sae90 but I know ive seen SAE30 weight motor in the past so I wanted to see what you all use and make sure I don't need to keep searching for something different. If 80w-90 is ok I plan on using some walmart stuff I already had on the shelf. It says on the bottle It meets the gl5 criteria so I assume its fine if the 80w90 is ok

Yep on the grade,, the multi oil refers to the given viscosity it acts like 8- weight but works like 90 ,just like in the car you put in 15w 30 or 5 w30 or what ever same thing with this, Im not sure but thisisnotastep maybe on to something, I really don't know about that
im still using sudt2 in my front axle but plan on changing to gear oil when I change. I think it will probably provide better wear protection. thanks guys I figured it was same similar to the oil guidelines, just wanted to make sure.
gear oil for the front axle on the tractor and the gear box on the mower is recomended in the manuals
Use the stuff you have on the shelf. I have used 80W90 for the last 5 years on mine with NO problems. Wal-Mart stuff is PROBABLY the least expensive, and has the SAME rating as others.
Enjoy the BX ! ! I have USED, ABUSED, and MISUSED my BX2350 for over 6 years and it just stands there and asks "Is that all you got?" It is one tough little tractor and should serve you well. IMHO.
