BAKER transmission oil

[Vince81]

USE Spectro 75/140 and be assured of the right Performance & Longevity in your box dude....I kid you not-and the endoersement issue is not relevant simply becaue of wear and maintenance issues we've discovered and *SEEN* at the Drag strip UNDER CONSTANT USE & EVALUATION - and Dyno Runs as of late 2010-hence the recommended and endorsed scenario of Spectro PURE 75/140 Synthetic in our gearboxes and other applications .

Not arguing with you but I have 90,000 miles on my BD Baker transmission and I've used all the oils out there and never had an issue. I'm running the Amsoil in mine now from the Baker sponsored Redline that they endorsed a couple years ago.

For me just good ole Revtech Tranny oil. Key is to change it out routinely, normlay ever second oil change. The primary I do at evey oil change of around 2500 miles.

Spectro is good stuff as well as Amsoil and many other, Redline HD Shock Proof have been used by many also and as Raywood pointed out Baker used to recommend that, but has switched to Spectro (so I take such recommendation with grain of salt). Any oil that meets the specs should be good, none will be good if not maintained with proper levels/quanities or changes frequency. If you are running under extream conditions such as drag racing, high torque, extream temps, may want to consider some of the more expensive and specialized oil

Using only 20 oz in tranny, oil is not that expensive and stretching out such too long seems a good way to possibly have problems verse spending a few dollars routinely and doing proper maintenance.

***23*** ounces of Spectro in a dry & refilled transmission(the DSSC or otherwise on all BIG DOGS)
And 23 Ounces in ALL BAKER Transmissions like the DSSC ,Torquebox & Drivebrake which I'm running.
I've included pictures below of my Torquebox & Drivebrake BAKER Transmissions-and the Drivebrake which comes *Standard* with a pulley-well I custom ordered mine with the 23 Tooth Sprocket for a 530 Chain and BOTH of these BAKER Transmissions have the N1 Shift Drum Pattern:
Neutral(all the way Down)
1st thru 6th gear all UP-
NO Missed shifts or false neutrals

I switched to spectro syn. throughout on my 07 hd 3 or 4 oil changes ago,switching the primary and tranny oils to spectro recommended for each I noticed less gear noise neutral was simple to find.Which most of the 1st HD 6speed neutral was a pain unless motor off.I have also noticed that there is very little to no build up on the magnetic plugs when I drain fluids.gear and Tranny oils always look nearly new when I change them usually between 5 or 6 k miles.

Yep. It does the job nicely. Just refilled mine after the tear down. I did a fluid change and put about 5k on it before the rebuild with no issues at all.
