This is the case. I have contacted Castrol directly, and found that
they only supply GL-4 in 5 gallon pails. TRF essentially takes and
re-packages the GL-4 out of the 5 gallon pails. (Talk about a messy,
smelly job!)
I would make very sure to run a gear oil that is clearly deemed to
be OK by the manufacturer. (I switched my tranny out to GL-4 this
last fall, using a couple quarts bought from TRF.) If I had the
switch to do again, I would probably use the synthetic gear oil sold
by Redline -- they have separate formulations for trannies with
brass components. (BTW, mid-80s Volkswagens (Golf, GTI, Jetta, etc.)
have the same problems with brass transmission components.)
