The Buddy 170i owner's manual calls for SAE 140W gear oil in the final drive. Is it OK to use 90W-140 or do I have to use straight 140W?
Also, is it better to use Hypoid oil instead of conventional gear oil?
Thanks!

I couldn't find SAE 140W so I ended up getting SAE 75w140, synthetic Royal Purple. I searched it & found people using it in muscle cars & 4X4 trucks driven hard so I'm guessing it should be ok. If anyone's found straight 140, let us know where.
