Default oil type recommendation

I'm converting a Lincoln [hypoid] rear end to Columbia, hypoid rear ends have special additives, the Columbia contains yellow metal components. So, what oil specification do I put into this thing? Thanks, Brian

GL-4 is highly recommended.
Read about it here:

Cheers boys...I'll go with Penrite 'Mild EP', won't harm bronze, suitable for early hypoid gears.
