Re: Rear gear oil
http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...ml#post1560285
Ha! One of my biggest peeves over the years - Lol! Rear End Lube Change: -22oz's of 85w/90 synthetic rear end grease. Mobil 1 or any good quality type will work fine. -Jack it up, pull the fill plug which is up the side of the housing. Then pull the drain plug and drain. (check oil for any foreign material) -Reinstall the drain plug, stick your manual $8 lube pump tube (from Advance Auto Parts) in the fill hole (do not attempt to use the vent hole), lower the cart back level and pump it until it reaches the threads of the fill hole. (22 ounces + or - will get you there) If you cannot get 85w/90, 80w/90 will work, but the viscosity is different. Engine oils, compared to gear oils, usually have lower viscosity when cold. They contain more detergent additives and require higher temperatures to burn. They are designed to protect engines from damage caused by solids and acids formed in combustion. Gear oils usually have more additives to prevent wear at extreme pressures and are often available in formulations for various compatibilities. Basically, it comes down to the base oil and additive pack. 30w engine oil will work, but it is "engine" oil and when CC designed their Graziano specs, it was a cart that was only going to run ~14 mph and around a golf course (and honestly, at those speeds and loading, you could run Wesson Oil or Castor Oil and be fine). I would venture to say there is a very small percentage of us on this site that still have carts running on golf course at ~14 mph. We have them lifted, or loaded, or pulling, or speeding, or hauling, or deer chasing, or..... And with BIGGER motors, controllers, tires, gears, accessories, # of passengers, etc. etc. will relate to excessive loading on the gears/bearings and for all these reasons, put "Gear Lube" in gear cases and engine oil in Engines.... Just my highly experienced AGMA Certified Gear opinion.... PS- I am attaching viscosity chart for your review. |

Re: Rear gear oil

Qman97- Whatever you decide on, the most important thing is to know your usage and plan accordingly. Remember, our gears, engines, motors, transmissions, trans-axles, etc. etc. all came with a design spec. That means they were engineered for that design and spec'd out with those parameters. So, once you change those parameters with bigger motors, controllers, taller tires, lift kits, speeds, higher voltages, etc. you have now changed all the parameters for the original engineering specifications. That is when you either get it re-engineered for your current specifications, or seek advice from other knowledgeable professionals as you are here - as their are a lot of experienced professional on this forum. I can only share with you my training and knowledge that comes as an IBEW Master Mechanic and a Certified AGMA Gear Specialist with over 31 years experience in the industry.... (Yes, I have worked on or raced all of them from NHRA Super Stock L & P class race cars, to Nuclear Turbines and Turning Gears....(and have even been known to have ~maybe worked on a golf cart once or twice over the years...) |

Re: HELP! My golf cart is making feel like a DUMMY!
Sounds like you have a XCT-48400-DCS controller. If so, attached is a schematic for a XCT in a DCS cart.
Check for battery pack voltage (38.2V when fully charged) on the smaller of the three wires coming out of the backside of the charge receptacle. If it's not there, bypass the reed switch as shown in attachment-2 |
