Hello All:

1967 Volvo 122S Wagon. I have a question about gear oil. The shop manual clearly states to only use NON-Hypoid oil (I have the 4-speed, no overdrive) in the 80-90 weight range. Has our thinking evolved in any way on this? I can find Hypoid oil quite easily but non-hypoid has been a tougher get.

On a somewhat related note - for those of you without a lift in the garage, how are you getting to the transmission fill hole? I have to jack up the car slightly and I worry that when I use my hand pump to fill up the oil to the bottom of the hole it might be an inaccurate fill level. I was wondering if anyone had a cool pro tip I should know.

As always, thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Pooch
