Looking at the price and and products above, it’s a synthetic MEP 460.
The trouble with synthetic gear oils is they are either a PAO or PAG, and one isn’t compatible with the other ( pretty sure they are usually PAO’s )
You could go back to Kuhn and ask them again, because they are breaking the law if you are the user, and they withhold the information you requested.
See note 4 below.
