Hi everyone,
I am about to change all of the gear oil on my 98 Frontier. I went to Napa and they are trying to sell me the Royal purple GL-4 and GL-5 combo gear oil for my M/T. Can I use this oil, since I am not suppose to run the GL-5?  |

if it is pure synth, you'll be OK.

The napa stores here carry a store brand in 2 qt jugs...dino GL4
That, or you can go to your local Dodge dealer and ask for 6 quarts of the NV4500 Castrol GL4...that's a full synthetic true GL4...but it's expensive. 1998 Frontier 4x4, 2002 Xterra 4x4, and Z28 street rocket Pass here and go on. You're on the road to heaven - Kerouac |

redline mt90 is GL5, and everyone i know that uses it in a nissan trans loves it. synth can get a GL5 rating without all the corrosive additives needed for a dino oil. also, the only napa GL4 i could find was 85w90, which shifts like ass in the cold.

Heh...cold isn't a big issue here.
I run the synthetic Castrol in mine anyways. 1998 Frontier 4x4, 2002 Xterra 4x4, and Z28 street rocket Pass here and go on. You're on the road to heaven - Kerouac |

MT-90 is GL-4 ,and it shifts slicker than snot. ..................... "Climate change is no longer science. It's politics... Climate change is also about power. Power to control....

Possibly you were also talking about multirated syntheticcs, that some folks worry about. I think there are some synthetics you should worry about using, but others that have gl-4, gl-5 rating( and a few other ratings) and they do very well. I ran Amsoil synth up to about 200K miles( not implying the lube was that old- it was changed a few times in the duration)_ w/ no problems. I heard so much about the Redline MT-90 that I had to try it and compare. It shifts better. ..................... "Climate change is no longer science. It's politics...
