I also found some dexron gear oil that is GL4 rated for the NV4500 I looked at a pensoil full syn gear oil for the sycromesh that was GL4 rated IIRC royal purple has a GL4 gear oil as well as lucus oil in full syn GL4 I have the amsoil on the shelf and the trans is full of the dexron NV4500 oil now.
