Differential oil brands & where to get

[Chevys10zr2003]

I am looking into getting more differential oils. I want to try a bunch of different weights as well as stock up. I have always used Associated differential oils and have never had a problem with them. The only issue is that a lot of the oils seem to be out of stock everywhere I have looked or they want, in my opinion, outrageous amounts of money for them. Like Amain is out of Associated 200k ($8.99 for 59ml) but they have Kyosho 200k ($17.99 for 40ml). I guess I am just wondering what brand differential oils everybody is running and where they get them from. I am thinking that my best bet is going to be back-ordering them with Tower or Amain and wait but figured I would check with everybody here.

Thank you very much @Billl DeLong. After reading about those oils from you and a few others, I am actually going to be switching all of my shocks over to PT oils when I rebuild them. Unfortunately the highest differential oil I could find from them was 30,000, and I normally use between 10,000 and 500,000.

For the center diff, I do like to go up to around 120K for my cars on high traction turf, but I've been using a bottle of OFNA fluid that is about 5 years old... I think OFNA shut down about 2 years ago

Maybe try Mugen?

I still use Associated for the heavy weight stuff on the center diff. For the real heavy weight Gravity RC

Awesome. I might have to give them a try. They are a little more money for a little less product than the Associated oils, but unless I want to wait they might be my best bet.

Yeah I normally use Associated as well but a lot of the oils that I want are out of stock pretty much everywhere, even on Associated's website they are out of stock of most of their differential oils. That's why I was hoping to get some other leads for differential oil brands and where to get them online for a decent price. I'm thinking that I will either have to back order or give the little bit more expensive Mugen oils a try.

+1 I did the same. I think they are fairly similar to the stock oils Tekno provides.

kyosho has the high weight oils as well

I saw that the Kyosho oils were in stock but they are $18 for 40ml which I personally think is a little outrageous for differential oil for what I do. It might be worth it for racing but I don't do any racing. Thanks for the response though!
