The manual states 90 grade, but I would like to know what API type should I purchase.
As far as I can remember, it is GL-5 but I might be wrong here.
Thanks in advance.

Correct 90 SAE oil for rear drive - R51/3 ?
Re: Correct 90 SAE oil for rear drive - R51/3 ?
GL5 is very agressive and there is an important bronce shim in there. I wouldn’t use that. It also doesn’t need it. GL3 is just fine an totally safe.

If you're concerned about the yellow metal in the drive, GL4 would be OK as well.
