Sta Lube Gear Oil
I am assuming that since all you can get now is GL-5 is OK. It supercedes GL-4 in still the 85-140 weight. This is for my 1939 trans and rear gear. Anyone care to enlighten me. Thanks.

Re: Sta Lube Gear Oil
You know what they say about assuming? I would not use a GL5 oil in a synchromesh transmission unless the manufacturer guaranteed it was compatible with yellow metals.

Re: Sta Lube Gear Oil

Re: Sta Lube Gear Oil
Look on Amazon, they still show Stalube GL-4. O’Reilly’s and other suppliers can provide GL-4 products. I looked on CRC’s website and could find no mention of yellow metal compatibility. Send them the question about your application.

Re: Sta Lube Gear Oil
Do not use GL-5. It’s safe to say instead since our cars are not as common anymore, we can no longer find stuff on-the-shelf. Order GL-4 if you have to. NAPA and Advance Auto Parts have it.

Re: Sta Lube Gear Oil
NAPA seems to have StaLube in 140 GL4 Not 85-140 is what I was looking for in the GL4

Re: Sta Lube Gear Oil
Show this to NAPA. Part number SL SL24239. Although a few months ago it was more like $45.

Re: Sta Lube Gear Oil
140 weight is okay for warm weather. The 140 doesn't shift properly in cool weather in my 39 transmission. I found that the 85W-90 is good year round.

Re: Sta Lube Gear Oil
I'm going with the 140 StaLube GR4. Won't be driven when it's cold anyway. Thanks for all the help. You guys always come though.

Re: Sta Lube Gear Oil
O'Reilly has 65-140 GL4, or at least they did have. I bought a gallon for my Model A several months back. Ask them...

Re: Sta Lube Gear Oil
Interesting thread below. I come away still believing that you should avoid GL-5

Re: Sta Lube Gear Oil
I used GL-5 85-90 in the Camaro Muncie. Never felt right. Bought the StaLube Gl-4 and world of difference. As soon as I winter service the '49 I'll be changing the T-10 to StaLube GL-4
