This is somewhat off topic (because it is featuring a truck axle) - but regardless check out this interesting video about what the differential oil looks like in action!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-yG3D3JBRs I love stuff like this because there is so much false information out there in the car world, so I always appreciate the people who take a more rigorous approach to separate fact from fiction. You guys have any other similar videos to recommend? |

Strikes me there's a fair amount of power used to shove that fluid around. I wonder if something on the order of a dry-sump setup might gain noticeable power?

In the end it would probably at best be a status quo. |
