The 2010 (Drive) has a internal transaxle-brake (wet brake) that needs a special oil.

Differential Oil
Your Yamaha Golf Car takes 1.85 quarts of Yamalube Friction Modified Shaft Drive Gear Oil. If Yamalube Friction Modified Shaft Drive Gear Oil is not available, you can mix 1.75 quarts of 80W90 gear oil with 0.10 quarts of API G15 Limited Slip Additive. Use an 8 mm wrench to remove the oil-servicing plug on the rear of the transaxle case located under bag holder insert. The oil level should be at the top of the oil-serving hole or just oozing out of the hole when the plug is removed. When you reinstall the plug, torque it to 120 to 168 inch-pounds.

The 2010 G29 is not a Drive 2. It is a Drive 1.
It makes a difference.

If you have a 2010 then you want the Friction Modified Shaft Drive SAE 75W-85 oil. Part #ACC-SHAFT-PL-32

If you have the 2017 or later Drive 2 then you want 80-90 Gear oil.
