Hello all,
Without a long discussion on trans oil I know to you use GL-5 but should it be Dino oil only or can you use synthetic as well. Also, someone mentioned to me that add a GM manual trans additive along with the GL-5. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks everyone! Steve |

Anyone know what the shelf life is of gear oil? Have a couple containers of gear oil from about 15 years ago. One was opened and half used. The other is still sealed. Wondering it they absorb water or other junk. Haven't done a manual trans in a while but now I have three that will need new oil soon. Should I scrap the oil or use them?
