Hypoid refers to the way the gears are cut/bevelled.
Oils have unique properties to handle the pressure/friction caused by these type of gears.
The workshop manual specifies: "Hypoid gear oil, SAE90 or 80W".
2.0litres for the front, 1.5litres for the rear.
A 2.5litre bottle of Penrite Hypoid 80w90 is around $30 from any Bursons/ripco/supercrap.
Cheap enough to change frequently, good enough to leave long term if you need to.
