Oils are not all the same!

Hi everybody, Silly question but can someone tell what grade of oil I should use in gearbox/diff ect? I think it is 80w-90 but not positive about that. Thanking any replies in advance.

cheers

80w/90 is o.k. but 10w/30 multifarm as well. It seems that 10w/30 multipurpose is better for the hydraulics.

The numbers are quite different but the viscosity is allmost the same. with gear oils, they take different measuring than with engine and hydraulic /multipurpose oils.

Thank's very much Renze, It helps a lot to know that as I am about to give a 7345 a service and information is a bit thin on the ground, it has a lot of hydraulic problems, mostly from neglect!
