I think the gear oil is 75w-90, But you should check the owners manual for those kinds of things.

I use:

Engine oil: Castrol GTX-20w50 in the summer
Castrol GTX- 10w30 in the winter

Gear oil : 75w90 Synthetic in both the transmission and differential

I'm 90% sure the gear oil is what's asked for in the owner's manual...

90W in temps above freezing, if you see temps below freezing use a 85W90.

I recommend Redline MT90 which is a 90W GL4 type oil
