My automatic answer is 90 Weight Gear Oil, but I live in PA and would be driving it in all seasons.
In AZ the 90 Weight would work if you are only doing Cruses or Non-Daily use. More than that and I would go to a 130 or 140 Weight.

I think the electric two speed uses oil in it too, 10 weight. But I have been wrong before.

Wink oil and gear lub

Thanks for your help. As I understand it I should use 90 min wt. for the transmission and ATF for the two speed rear end is that correct? Bobd
