Hi, Tim1; this from the Kawasaki service manual:

Final gear case oil:

Type:  API GL-5 hypoid gear oil

When below 5C (41F) SAE 80

Hope this helps;

Regards and such,

Hey fellas, When I serviced my new to me drifter, I changed the final drive oil with some 75-90 synthetic liqui moly that I use in my turbo diesel vw tranny. On my run to town, I think the oil is to light as I can hear a whine. I have some Bel Ray gl5 85-140 Gear Saver oil for gearbox and final drive use. Not synthetic, but would this be better? Oregon driving. Thanks  Tim
