Hi Bob, most RF's use O1E's now and we only use Castrol Multitrax which is a API GL5 as it seems to offer the best shift feel and durability fwit,

I filled my 01e with MT-90 (which is a GL4 lubricant) according to previous recommendations. I noticed on their WEB site (Perhaps this is a recent update?) that "MTL & MT-90 are not for use in differentials with hypoid gears". This suggests that a GL-5 lubricant be used in the 01e. Comments?

Thanks,
Andy
