Needed for MMM gear box. Dealer had none... counter girl said i guess we use the 80/90 on the shelf. All auto parts stores in Tallahassee, FL had none...Adv Auto, O'Rielies, Discount Auto, NAPA, etc. and on line although Amazon has a PJ1 Hypoid used for motorcycles with no GL-5 noted but Hypoid appears to be = GL-5 as it is just the type go gears in the box... But I guess I'd like the bottle to state GL-5. Any one have a suggestion? Thanks

It's rather normal to just use 80w90 in place of the strait 90.

I have been using Valvoline 85W-140 high performance, it is GL-5 rated, says so on the bottle. Should be easy to find in an auto store.
