The Gallon jug i bought said GL-4, 140 weight. Just checked and no mention of
'lube is yellow metal safe'.

Is it supposed to?

Some have said that this is a non issue with today's gear oil. i just don't know for sure.

from what i have "heard" and "read", anything prior to GL-5 is yellow metal safe....the additives they put in the 5 is what is corrosive to yellow metals???? at my age, probably anything would out last me....but it still concerns me enough that i would RATHER put in GL-4......the shell 4 is about $55 for 5 gallons...i think i will do that, before i pay 30 for one gallon....
heehaw
