GL-4 Transmission Fluid
#22
There have been many threads on transmission fluid before but just wanted to share one more for reference.
Was buying something else when I saw on the shelf three bottles side-by-side of 85W90W fluid with the first labeled GL-4, the second GL-5, and the third GL5+.
Reading the backs, only the GL-4 said protects copper, brass and non-ferrous metals used in synchros.
Bought a bottle and am now torn on replacing the fluid or not. First time I ever came across an only GL-4 rating. The GL-5 stated it met the MIL-L2105 too but did not claim to protect certain metals.
