What kind of gear oil?

[3rdNut]

i just got done rebuilding my 175 tri moto and i was wondering what kind of gear oil to put in it? also is there a plug to drain the old stuff out, it's kind of watery and it smells like gas.

Help me out here on where you're wanting to put the oil. If in the rear differential, then go for a hypoid gear oil, same kind you run in your vehicle. If in the transmission, then use an oil made for transmissions, like Bel Ray Gear Saver in 75 or 80 weight. Forgive me, I'm not familiar with that trike, but these oils will work great in anything.
