Re: Diff gears
Great, thanks!
So presumably any transaxle oil will be compatible? some state hypoid, others not,so I always wonder...
Are there any other parts of the drivetrain with hypoid gears?

a bevel wheel with teeth engaging with a spiral pinion mounted at right angles to the wheel's axis, used to connect non-intersecting shafts in vehicle transmissions and other mechanisms.
Other than maybe on some 4x4 vehicles with portal axles, I know of nothing else that does, off hand
These gears generate extreme pressure on their teeth surfaces, hence the need for EP (Extreme Pressure) oil.

Re: Diff gears
Note that the "EPX" stands for extreme pressure.
This is specifically for hypoid gears.
Thus EPX and Hypoid are sinonyms in terms of the oil.
