What I am saying is it is both a GL4 and a GL5. Use Gear 300 in both transmission and rear end.

I also enjoy the 2nd gear improvement with the Gear 300

I live in the upper midwest and there is no dealer or retailer, what the HELLS, so out of luck most times!

Thank you

We live in a very populated area and before we started carrying there was no dealer either. Shipping it, is no big deal though.

You are quite right about the metal shavings. There is HEAPS of them! lol
(I did my transmission and differential oil changes today following your guide.

Dirty..

Cleaned:

Also, here's a pic(for other people considering the Motul) of that Motul Gear 300 extendible hose/nozzle that you mentioned.

@stevo_12v Appreciate the pictures mate

Hey guys couldn't find it listed anywhere... But, how often do you recommend that the 6MT and Diff fluid be changed? I understand that it will vary depending on application- but for a daily driver (year round) that sees the occasional hard driving.
