Norwegian term or phrase: reduksjonsolje
An instruction in a military vehicle maintenance manual:

"Reduksjonsolje til hjulene: Kontroll og gjenopprettelse av nivå"

What kind of oil is "reduksjonsolje"?

(reduction) gear oil
Explanation:
See the first link for an English reference to oil in a reduction gear, at page 10, and the corresponding Norwegian reference at page N-10. The second link has Google results for "reduction gear oil". A Wikipedia article on "gear oil" at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_oil is useful as well.
I would probably use "reduction gear oil" to be safe, but just "gear oil" might be appropriate here as well.
