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.

i think you`ll find that 70/90 is fully synthetic as opposed to a straight ep90 which is mineral based. I`d have thought your local motor factors would stock it! failing that.......halfords.

EP 80/90 is what i've used in my axle and can be bought from Autoparts (used to be) on Rayne road, the only place I found it round here!
