And additionally, the Sta Lube gallon jugs are embossed at 1 quart
intervals, so that you can pump and measure the proper amount of gear goo
into the box, and then double check the level by dipping your pinking into
the filler hole, rather than pumping the box full and then allowing the
overage to drain out. Sta Lube is also GL4, kinder to the yellow metals in
the TR gearbox.
