Most oil suppliers have this for some industrial applications. Kendall,
Pennzoil, Castrol, etc. For what it is worth, I've been using the GL5
and GL6 stuff for almost 20 years. All of my Transaxles use the Mobil 1
SHC 75w-90 and that is what I put in my rebuilds. I have not had an oil
related problem in any of them and the Mobil makes thme shift real nice.
Let the flames begin.
