    hyundai gearboxes like it apparently according to the bottles of the stuff that i have seen.

    seems to be popular enough to be back on the shelves again after being unobtainium in the usual auto parts places for a while.

    i got 20l of it from my local caltex / havoline distributor.

    FWIW a GL-4 specced oil has 2/3 the EP/AW additive levels of a GL-5 oil.

    Dual specced GL-4/5 oils use buffered sulphur EP compounds so they aren't corrosive.

    I've been sourcing a GL4 from a local blender for some time. Apparently their GL5 meets the corrosion resistance (if that's the correct term) of GL4 anyway but they recommend GL4 for older boxes.
    It's quite a bit cheaper than $8 per litre but not a 'known brand'.
