Hey guys,
I recently had replaced my gearbox oil with 100% synth GL4 75W90 for my 1999 Maxima SE.
I had the main seal replaced, and the mechanic topped it up with GL5.
On the Maxima.org forums, they strictly recommend staying with GL4 oil, as GL5 additives are bad for the syncros.
How accurate is this? Should I be running to replace the gear oil again? I had a real hard time finding Mobile GL4 oil last time (took almost a month).
