Hi Per, 

	As Michael Oritt already mentioned EP additives in GL5 spec oils are
very aggressiv against yellow metal. Avoid these in gearboxes or
differentials were yellow metal is used.

 Hi
Have read somewhere that EP oils should not be used in places where
you 
have yellow metal bits, because the EP additives are aggressive
against 
yellow metal . In a gearbox of a 1960 3000 there are yellow metal
bits.
How much truth it is in this statement I don't know.
