  Hi

  I have been reading on the list lately of the wonders of redline synthetic gearoil. I have visited the redline website and find that the Australian distributor is in Western Australia. Unfortunately, that is across one of the largest deserts in the world from where I live and I cannot find it locally. I was wondering if anyone could vouch for or suggest similar properties from any other oil manufacturers. Of the oils I know that I can get my hands on, other than petrol companies, both penrite and valvoline are over here and maybe others, I'm not sure. 

  from the Bently manual the specs are as follows

  4sp  hypoid API GL-4, MIL--L-2105, SAE 80W, 80W/90
  5sp  hypoid API GL-4, MIL--L-2105, SAE 80  or G50 synthetic oil

  I have the 5speed and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on whether the difference with the 4sp above is significant.

  Dominic
