[6pack] Gear Oil Question

[John Johnson]

Bob, I would be careful using a GL5 lubricant. I have always used a GL4 and I
know a lot of others on the list recommend using it. GL4 helps protect the
softer metals found in our cars and GL5 can have a negative effect on the
syncros. Just my 2 cents. John Johnson
