The lower gearbox is lubricated with 2.5 L (0.66 US gal) of extreme-pressure gear oil with SAE 80W
viscosity grade API and GL4.
When draining and refilling, it is recommended to use either a mineral base oil with viscosity grade
SAE 80W and API grade GL4, or a synthetic base oil, type PAO (Poly-Alpha-Olefins) with a viscosity
grade equivalent to SAE 80W.
In certain countries SAE 80W GL4 oil may not be available. In this case a GL4 or GL5 grade SAE 80W90
oil is an acceptable substitute for GL4 SAE 80W oil.
