Re: special oil from AM Gen in gear hubs
That special oil that you speak of is not for the geared hubs but for the Differentials with factory equipped Eaton Lockers. It's a synthetic gear lube with a friction modifier additive. It's not exactly $40 per qt. but more like $24.55 per quart but at $10 per qt. it's still a good deal if you have lockers be it Aulburn or Eaton.
FWIW, I would not reccommend running Mobil 1 gear lube in your Geared Hubs lest you want leaking hubs in your future. Don't get me wrong, I am a Mobil 1 fan myself but the Mobil 1 Gear Lube is quite a bit thinner and the hubs will almost always leak after time. Lucas Hub Oil is the only way to go IMO. It has a seal conditioner additive that will virtually eliminate Geared Hub leaks.
Again, IMO/experience.......
