I noticed oil on outer rim of rear wheel, checked breather and it was blocked soild. Replaced same and am now wondering if it would be OK to top up with SAE EP 80/90 as opposed to the stipulated SAE EP 90?
I guess I am presuming that it is EP 90 that is already in there!!

Presume the s3 axles don't have yellow metals like the earlier ones? Multi grades usually aren't compatible
