Subject:Front Diff Oil
From:John Welsh

Listees,

I read in the archives the correspondence between Kyle, Derek, Dennis,
Steven and John about GL-4 vs GL-5 gear oil.  I went out to the Pep Boys
(is that Larry, Moe and Curly?) to get some GL-5 for my Syncro front
diff.

Well, there's Sta-Lube 85w140 GL-5, and Sta-Lube 80w90 GL-5.  Can
anybody help me with this? Which should I use?

I don't feel like paying for Red Line stuff because if my VC is bad,
it'll just get dumped with the old diff.  Is Sta-Lube OK?

Thanks.
