Brookhouse states SPICER DIFF COVER GASKET. FITS ALL AMAZON & P1800 MODELS, but they have a foot note which advises (YOU MUST CHECK WHICH MAKE OF AXLE YOU HAVE FITTED). Is this a contradiction if it fits ALL Amazons?

Thanks.
I would use the current volvo hypid axle oil from the dealer or castrol Syntrax 75w/90 which is excellent being synthetic and will last for a long long time and reduce frictional losses in the axle .compared to EP90.
