in a Type 1 2 or 3 or any other older style gearbox use only 80/90 grade
140 is too heavy

I use fully synthetic mobile, not sure on grade as it was filled when rebuilt.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

From one of My 10 VW Workshop manuals...
The Volkswagen differential gears are of the hypoid variety.
Extreme pressure hypoid gear oil must be used because of the high tooth pressures and high rubbing velocities encountered in this type of
gearing....
Care must be taken to see that straight mineral oil is not used in the volkswagen transaxle...
Use Only good quality SAE 90 Hypoid oil....
I'm not sure what I used until I find the plastic container..
I also added a tube of NULON to the gearbox oil....
I presume EP stands for EXTREME Pressure....
I do have a full container of Penrite 85/140 Hypoid Oil...
Its a GL5..... Might use it in My Lancer....
