Curt, Dwight, et al.
In Olde Yingland, we used cut up nylon stockings to "thicken up the
diff. oil" and quieten down the howling.
Also provided some lubrication.
On the 87 190DT I changed the diff oil to 85W90 M1 and it has slowly
gone quiet. About 5k miles, so far so good. Had a slight whine at
35-40 steady throttle, now gone.

I don't know. Regular dino gear oil used to come in 90 and 120. WE used 120
to quiet a noisy dif with 90.
Don't know about bacon-some old timers used a bit of sawdust.

Does Mobil 1 come in more than one weight? I dunno offhand.
The car made the noise before the Mobil 1, I didn't really expect the change
to "fix" worn bearings. I'm just sort of hoping it'll mask some noise for
awhile. Sort of like the old bacon trick. Speaking of which... ;)
