To the gear box and the rear axle, what is a good solution?

The engineering specification calls for a "hypoid gear" oil for the trany and rear end. The term hypoid gear is a type of gear that has the two shafts (drive and axles)offset and thus the action of the gears is both sliding and rolling along a straight line. The term hypoid comes from the shape of the pitch circles or surfaces which are hyerboloids of revolution. They differ from crossed helical gears in that the contact is a line in hypoid gears and is a point in crossed helical gears. For this reason they can carry heavier loads and this is what is neded for the drive shaft to axle transmission. In spite of the line contact as opposed to point contact the contact pressure is very high and requires a special oil that will not squeeze out easily under load. Be sure to use "hypoid gear" rated oil and the original rquirement was for 90 W (90 weight oil). There may be oils that meet this requirement in a multi-weight oil as suggested above(?)
