Post by: fireZ on October 13, 2011, 01:18:33 PM

Anyone know where you can still buy Valvoline 80/90 GL-4 gear oil.I can only find GL-5 and have been told it has sulpher in it which is hard on the brass syncros

I got the Valvoline at a local place called Knechts.  I'm sure they don't have them where your at, but I've seen it at almost all the parts places. O' Reilly's, Schucks.

I put GM lube and posi additive from the Chevy dealer in my new rebuilt rear end. That's what Motive Gear recommended.

The same oil as tranny 80/90 gear oil from GM

NO it's strictly rear end lube and be sure to get the additive if it's positive traction.

I know you already found your trans oil, but you can also still get CRC Sta-Lube 85W90 GL-4 at NAPA.

For the rear end, you can use a 80W90 GL-5 oil & the GM posi additive.
