Red grease as differential gear oil

[Shorttrackthing]

So I had some crazy ideas to try random things like project farm does on youtube like trying ATF, WD40, bacon grease, etc as engine oil or testing different products, but instead id do it with old differentials and transmissions. So I had a crazy idea to use Lucas Oil Red and Tacky as differential gear oil. I wonder what would happen.

All the grease would sling to the outside of the differential and what was left on the gears would burn up from heat.

How would it sling to the outside if the dif is sealed

He said sling to the outside…I assume he means it’s so thin that it just slings to diff cover and slings everywhere that it no longer serves a purpose good enough for long life

It would all work it's way to the outer edges of the ring gear, stick to the case and eventually burn up from lack of lubrication to the bearings.

So instead of trying off the wall things, why not just continue with things known to work? Beats destroying a diff or a transmission.

That’s what I was trying to explain.

I believe Banks power did a video where even the design of the diff cover makes a difference. They cut a hole and put a piece of clear lexan to show how the fluid was dispersed.
