Gear Oil Specifications for AC and DC rear axles?

Hello All,

I have two Tomberlins. A 2010 E-Merge with a DC motor and a 2013 XR E-Merge with an AC motor. I've been looking for the rear axle gear oil specifications and I'm coming up empty except for what I found in the 2010 E-Merge Maintenance Manual. When refilling it states:

"Apply 1100mL lubricating oil (GL -4 or GL- 5) to the rear axle."

Yup, that's it. So I know I can use GL-5 but what is the correct oil weight? 75-90? 80-90? Is it different for the DC and AC setups?

Thank you!
Scott

I'd say DC/AC doesn't matter and 75-90 GL5 would be fine. 8)
