Nothing personal George, but the topic of hypoid versus spiral bevel is not a thread hijack when discussing the needed gear oil in our ZF transaxles.
The forces found in an offset (hypoid) R&P are greater than those in a spiral gear R&P, and thus the two styles have different lubrication requirements.
I'm posting the RBT FAQ Andy refers to.
I only know what I read.
