Hypoid gear oil

The repair manuel says to use 90 SAE hypoid oil in the rear end and transmission. I used to be able to find it since a lot of marine transmissions called for it. The last few times I went to get it, all the parts stores had was 80W 90 gear oil. Is that the same thing or should I try harder?

    HI JASON, old recomendations versus modern lubes sometimes creates opinions best left to the individual. Type in --HYPOID GEAR OILS-- in your browser for a wealth of up to date info

    If straight SAE 90 hypoid fluid is what you're after, go to your friendly local Ford dealer's parts department and ask for a gallon of Motorcraft XY-90-GL. It costs about $35.00. Good luck.

    NAPA or any other parts store has what you need. If you don't see it, ask.
