Re: 1948 Deluxe oil and lube

I'm getting quite confused. According to the BW R11 OD manual it says that the most satisfactory lube for normal use is SAE 40 engine oil. Not EP and (in bold) Under no circumstances must a lube of the hypoid axle type be used in the OD.

I've been using 40 wt ND oil in the my R11 for the last 4 yrs.
What gives?
