Urgent Gear oil question

[LL - NY]

You need GL4 synthetic. GL5 will reek havoc on your synchros, but it's ideal
for your rear diff.
Ask me how I know (in my pre-list stupor, I put Mobil 1 GL5 in my 200Q,
'twas a BIG mistake,
almost lost my synchros, which would've killed the box, and as far as I was
concerned, the car).
I'm using Redline MT-90 in both the UrS and in my 200 (when I had it) with
good results (it actually
rescued the 200's box!) but just so long as you use GL4 fluid (and the
OWNER's MANUAL states
a synthetic requirement) you should be fine.
