it says not to be used with gasoline acids or other hazardous/flammable liquids other than that it gives no indication of fluid compatibility

The last guy around here that used a drill powered pump to put gasoline in in his boat, destroyed his garage and did serious damage to his house Sparking drill motor and gasoline vapors do wonders :

would not be surprised if a drill pump could not handle heavy gear oil.
Might want to start real slow.

filled front rear and transfer case today, pump setup worked great, took about a minute to fill each. easiest quickest and cleanest I have ever messed with 90wt (me and gear oil normally do not get along )

I changed my diff fluid yesterday and noticed the front was so clean it looked brand new, however the rear diff looked like it came from Yoda's swamp!

I keep detailed records and I looked at when I last changed it (14k miles ago) and I noticed I had put Valvoline full synth in the Front and Mobil 1 in the rear!

Has anyone ever switched between the two and noticed a distinct difference?

I would think the front would be dirtier because it isn't 100% sealed, where as the rear is.
