Is the amsoil severe gear synthetic 75w-90 oil backwards compatible for the gl-4 application????? The 75W90 SVGis GL-5 and is compatable for GL-4. I use it in my own 03R* and a couple of customers R*s. And in harley transmissions.

But I did find the mobil- 1 synthetic, maybe I will just use that one instead!!!! I'm using the Mobil 1 synthetic 75-90w with good results. If you go to www.mobiloil.com and read the info on this gear oil it states that it is fine to use in applications that require GL-4.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/03/19 22:00 By bubba123.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #175419 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:gear oil 3 Years, 2 Months ago   As long as you know it is GL-4 backwards compatible, you're good to go! I'm also a Mobil 1 gear oil user, and it works fine in our Star's tranfer case. 13.44 oz is the right amount.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #175461 Sixpbdboy (User) From now on every day is a Saturday. Junior Boarder Posts: 137 Re:gear oil 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Recommended for use in differentials, manual transmissions and other gear applications requiring any of the following specifications: API GL-5, MT-1, MIL-PRF-2105E, Dana SHAES 234 (Formerly Eaton PS-037), Mack GO-J, or the differential (hypoid) gear oil specifications from all domestic and foreign manufacturers such as GM, Ford and Daimler Chrysler. Can also be used in axles where an API GL-4 lubricant is recommended.

In age you understand Senior Boarder Posts: 340 Re:gear oil 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Maybe a stupid question, but is there an article on how to change the gear oil? I checked the tech articles and did not see anything. Probably a simple task but not sure what I am looking for   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #175563 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:gear oil 3 Years, 2 Months ago   It explains how to do it in the owners manual.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #175569 Road_Hawg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1397 Re:gear oil 3 Years, 2 Months ago   hammer wrote: I don't think is makes a bit of difference....it's only gear lube.BTW...don't try to cross the US border w/ the knuckles It has been claimed that GL5 rated lubes are corrosive to yellow metals. Not sure if any of the affected metals are in the R* transfer case, but Yamaha calls for GL4. I would not take a chance on running GL5 in the R* transfer case, there is simply no reason to. With that said, there are many GL5 rated gear lubes that are backwards compatible to GL4. When this is the case, it will usually state somewhere on the bottle that it is also compatible with applications requiring GL4. I would not use a GL5 rated lube if it does not specifically state that it is also compatible with GL4 applications.
