Bob Helt, it was a 'typo' on my part. GL-4 is correct. I try to help
and I only make matters worse!
I have to ploofread more carfully.
Here's the original message, corrected:
Richard Widman's writings helped me immensely, and my local club tackled
this issue for a tech session last Fall. For the tech session we had on
hand a Brad Penn product, an 80W-90 GL-4 specifically recommended by
Brad Penn for older transmissions and hypoid gear rear axles.
Everything I have read to date leads me to believe that this particular
Brad Penn product is the right one to use. There are others, but I was
able to order the Brad Penn product from Amazon, where a case of 12
quarts cost me $82 delivered to my door. This stuff is now in my
Rampside (as is Brad Penn motor oil). Aside from Amazon, there are some
Brad Penn dealers around, so depending on where you are you may be able
to pick up this product locally.
