<< 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.

You need to use GL 4 75-90 wt.  I have Redline, MT 90 synthetic in the diff
and the tranny. I paid $6.24 per qt. at Monument Car parts in the bay area
(CA.) when I was visiting. Use the best if you can.  See ya. Michael
