It's very hard to find. If you have a local source for amsoil tranny fluid, or redlineoil.com's MT90, then either one have a GL-4 only oil. MT90 is what a lot of people are using.

I made a thread a few days ago, to which I received no response, questioning whether there is anything wrong with using a gear oil that specs GL-4 AND GL-5. We've all read that a GL-5 only oil can be bad for the tranny, but my assertion is that the oils that specifically state that they are good for GL-4 should work just fine, and the manufacturer has made allowances for GL-4 specs.

FWIW my local nissan stealership puts in pennzoil multi-GL oil, and it says GL-4 and 5 on the bottle.

GL-5 lubricants contain additional amounts of EP additives needed for differentials, etc, although some of the oil producers are now labeling their GL-5 products as being safe for GL-4 applications. I can get you a GD on AMSOIL 80-90 GL-4, but it will take a couple days to get there from the warehouse in Lancaster PA. I also have a contact in Broadalbin, but I am essentially positive he would have to order it as well. See my post in the GD section...good luck and let me know if I can help.

Bad kris. You're supposed to PM him for the discount. The series 2000 amsoil was $44 shipped for 5qts, the normal was $23.
