PARTS. After the rear axle has been run-in, or at the recommended
drain and refill period, an SAE #90 All-Purpose, Multi-Purpose,
or other brand designation lubricant may be used as long as it
is suitable for Hypoid Rear Axle Service. Naturally, the results
of such use are the responsibility of the lubricant supplier or
servicing dealer.
