Strange effect of synthetic gear oil 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Dharvey on  Sun Nov 24 05:21 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I've posted before about stupid differential tricks my car is playing. I tried to appease it by switching to synthetic gear oil. No change--the rear end was still singing.

But hey--after 20-30 miles, the noise is dropping off. That's strange--there's nothing in there except metal and oil. If the synthetic were going to help the situation, why wouldn't it help right away?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
