Title: Which oil? Post by: ROD on October 26, 2009, 02:44:20 PM Which oil do you lot use for the g.box and axle? Recommended is Hypoy 90 for axle and hypoy light 80 for g/box,but I cant find any in local shops! only70/90 which I presume is an amalgamation average of the 2,but doesnt say its hypoy! in the past Ive just put eng oil in the g/box ,cant remember what Ive used for axle! Comments appreciated.
