GL-5 only = bad. Surely a GL-4/GL-5 is not.

I know that a GL-5 only oil may be bad for a tranny calling for a GL-4 lubricant. However, what of the oils that are GL-3,4,5, etc. ? I know that my nissan dealership locally uses pennzoil, which is a multi-GL oil. Also, even the famed MT90 is good for GL1 and GL3 trannies.
