GL4 SAE 75W-90

ie Comma SXGL41L 1L SX75W-90 GL-4 or Castrol Syntrans Multivehicle 75W-90 G-L4

would anyone recomend the extra cost of redline mt90 75/90 fully synthetic gl4?

Any decent GL-4 oil of the correct viscosity range will do the job, even a good quality 10w/40 engine or Dexron type transmission fluid will do job.

Gears in gearboxes don't tend to to fail from metal to metal rubbing contact.

Opies recomend 70/80 gl4
