The gears are not spiral bevel (type in a std american differential), but are helical. Engine oil gives the best protection and bearing lube. It has been used in fwd transmissions for many years and works well. You may want to consider AMSoil Series 2000 20W50, though as it has been proved to give better protection. www.townsendimports.com http://216.78.172.244/transmission_folder/spovgearboxlube.htm KeithG MarkC wrote: > I can't believe that the manual calls for using just regular 10W30 motor > oil.
