Depends on the transmission.
I use ATF in my T5.

He CLEARLY states "1933 transmission "gear" oil" in the header....less than 1 inch away from where you question the transmission type! DD

For GL4 140 you can't beat O'Reilly's price on the shelf.

Hi Everyone. Frank, I hear you can get it at NAPA, but I usually get it delivered.

FrankWest · 07-17-2021, 05:54 PM

Thanks guys...with your help I just ordered a gallon.

Reds34 · 07-17-2021, 07:07 PM

Not to hijack, but is that what you guys use in the rear axles too?

Thank you.

I've always used 80W90 GL4 in the trans....would I be better off running 140? Why?
