Dana 60 oil Capacity
«

So I have a Dana 60 with the green bearings/axles from Moser axle. They say the double sealed bearings require no inner seals such as stock applications. I have a tiny leak at the right side so the question is "am I overfilled with oil?" If anyone knows the oil capacity for this diff please advise as I filled it to the drain plug. Otherwise I will dismantle and add the seals.

Did the bearings have a sealing "O" ring on the outside and I have never trusted the internal seals on those bearings. Another thought is the bearing on the correct way as some have directional seals.

Dave - I am not 100% sure about the sealing ring but me thinks to pull the axles and put the stock seals in. If oil has migrated through the bearings then they will be washed clean of grease so will require new bearings as well. Wish I had done the setup that CP did - Dana conversion with the double taper roller bearing from a Ford 1/2ton truck. That requires special ends to be welded on to the housing. CP is that guy still doing the ends in Calgary? just in case I change my mind.

Yeah he is still doing housings in his spare time , he works for the city full time now
I thought the Green brgs were supposed to run wet with diff oil , I think they would fail quickly with inner seals in place

I'm not 100% sure but I could have sworn that I had seals on both sides. Will look when I pull the axles.
