[Fot] GL-4

[Peter Vucinic]

I had great difficulty finding here is Australia well. After a lot of
investigation I found that most of the major manufacturers (Shell, Caltex,
Mobil etc.) have stopped making GL-4. They consider it to be a superseded
product which GL-5 now encompasses. That is, until you mention the corrosive
and tarnishing aspects of GL-5 on Bronze. Then the back down and say that
maybe it is quite compatible!
However, I did find two things: -
1. People like TOYOTA are bottling GL-4 in their own bottles available at
dealerships as an OEM, as fair few Toyota vehicle models still call for
GL-4.
2. Royal Purple make it and that's what I used.

Cheers....

GL-4 is hard to find in my area too. No auto parts store within 25 miles 
of me carry it or are willing to order it.  There is one independent 
willing to order a case (smallest lot he can get) if I'm willing to 
purchase the whole case.

Series Land Rovers have 6 different places that take GL-4 so our own 
Steve Hedke is recently started carrying GL-4 for people unble to locate 
it locally.

The company also carries Red Line engine oil treatment with ZDDP.
