SAE 85W90.? The
real problem with the later saws made in China instead of
Taiwan is that there is a fair probability that the gearbox
will contain swarf (metal shavings).? So I would just play
it safe, lay the saw over at an angle (so that half of the
oil doesn¡¯t run out on the floor as soon as you break the
seal on the cover) and clean out the gear box.? The newer
the saw is, the more likely that is what you will find.

What do you suggest? Hypoid? 50ish et?

Check the gear box for the condition of
the lubricant. Most new machines have very poor quality
lubricant (may look good to the eye but may not have
proper antiwear additives) that may also be contaminated.
I suggest changing it out for a quality lubricant.
