Hi guys
(mk5 1997 twin wheel, diff. type 53)
I replaced the bearings in the diff. Is SAE 85W-90 multigrade hypoid gl5 oil good for rear differential?

Don't use SAE

You need EP80/90

haynes book of lies says,

SAE 90 EP to API Gl-5
Duckhams Hypoid gear oil 85w-90 GL-5.

I'm using 85-90 gl-5 in mine.Couldn't get any 90 EP locally at the time.
