- Does the manual give any other specification for the oil other
- than "non-hypoid." Hypoid oils usually contain extreme pressure
- additives which can attack some components such as bronze. That
- is probably why they want you to avoid hypoid oils. But there
- should be a better technical spec for the oil than what you have
- stated.
