Is this suitable for the Gearbox and Rear Diff?

TITAN GEAR HYP
SAE 80
SAE 90

Hypoid gear oil for highly stressed gearboxes in motor vehicles, especially for axles that require an API GL-5 oil.

API GL-5
MB 235.0
ZF TE-ML 05A, 07A 12A, 16C, 17B
MAN 342 N

It's £9:65 for 4 Litres and I'm tempted ........

Pete, It's probably OK but will sap a bit of power due to its increased thickness, as the correct oil is 75W90, in a competition situation I'd say no. But for a road car it'll be Okay.

You might just find that gear shifts become a bit baulky as the oil will take more perssure to dissipate between the synchro and the gear surface.
