re: e34 gear oil

[tedcrum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Please don't use MTL in your final drive ("rear transmission"). MTL is a
GL4 type lube, which is required to allow enough friction for the
synchronizers in the manual gearbox.

The Hypoid gears in the final drive require a GL5 type lube. The proper
Redline product is "75W90 Gear Oil".

The quantity is just under 2 litres, about 1.9l (2 quart).
