Paul...

Here is a good explanation and article on the difference between the oils,
the makeup and some advantages and disadvantages.:

http://www.panteraparts.com/techTips.php

GL-4 vs. GL-5 have always caused a heated debate...  Hopefully that article
will help in your quest.

and Mike.... as it quotes in the article...

*"...API GL-4 are the best lubricants for the ZF. "*

:)

Just wanted to poke the bear.

Have fun.

Cheers !



Best regards,
