Only GL-4 !!!??? The newer GL-5 oils will eat my syncros!!???
I just checked the fine print on my bottle of Valvoline 80/90wt gear oil...
that I just used!!... and it's GL-5. My specs say "GX", but my research
revealed that it's an obsolete code. The older gentleman at "Orange Engine"
concured it's obsolete, and recommended this Valvoline, stating it was the
equivalent.
Is there a difference in what to use between the 1500 and 1600s?
I've used GL-5 in my differencial and steering box, too.
Now what? Do I need to remove all the GL-5 from my car?
Do I have to flush? and if so, with what?
Yikes! I guess I should have known that this wouldn't be straight forward.

Use only GL-4 gear oil. The newer GL-5 oils will eat your syncros.
