I've heard horror stories warning to never use hypoid gear oil with the EP (extreme pressure?) additives in anything containing a worm gear. The claim is that the extreme sliding action in a worm gear turns the oil into some sort of waxy substance. I don't have enough experience to know if it's true or not. Maybe somebody else does?
