Did quite abit of research and believe that you can use any good EP lube in any situation as long as the label says it is compatible with brass/bronze. The problem with some EP lubes is they may contain reactive sulfur. This is mostly a problem in some specially blended high performance racing oils.

If you are really concerned about bronze erosion, look for a non-EP lubricant that does not contain sulfur. Lubriplate makes some good lube that fits the bill. You must use EP lubricant in hypoid differentials because of the extreme shearing action of the gears.
