Hi Bruce,

I found GL-1 in the 5 gallon pail for about 20 bucks at Wal-Mart. 'Tis
the only reason I ever go in there, but it's also the only place I can
consistently find it.

Good Luck!

Subject: [MV] Gear Oil

I know this has been hashed around, but I am in a bit of a bind.
I need to change the oil in the transmission and differentials on my
M54A2 5 Ton. I am having a hard time finding 5 gal buckets of GL-1 or
any of the GL ranges that specify not harmfull to yellow metal.

My question is, can I use 90-85 weight oil? Are there any other types
that are normally readilly available that I can use?

Thanks for any comments both good and bad, Bruce MVPA 23824
