Hi Guys. I know this subject has been covered a number of times but I need an updated post response.
I need to do a diff and transfer oil change but I find the service sheets confusing as the diff info states
Hypoid 90 SX API GL5 & transfer SAE 80W-90 GL-5.
The GL-5 bit is easy but I'm having a problem with the rest???
I read somewhere that the SX only refers to 2009 models on and elsewhere that the same oil can be used in both.
My local motor factors has two types - 75w90 in mineral and 80w90 in semi synthetic both mentioning EP and hypoid in the titles but no SX
Questions are, which one would you go for. Does it matter mineral or semi syn and can I use the same in both. Lastly, is the SX indeed only 2009 on??
