I'm sure it's been answered before but what grade lube for the transaxle? 90w GL-4 or GL-5?

Straight from Dr. Evil's website:

~2.5L of Hypoid SAE 90 was original recommendation. Non-synthetic GL5 80w90 is the appropriate modern substitution"

Sage advice. Always make sure you have access to refill the transmission BEFORE you drain it.
