Thanks for all the replies already and apologies for the lack of clarity in my
question.
When I saidB old top loaders, I meant OLD top loaders, the Ford OEM close and
wide ratio ones from the mid-1960's.
Apparently many more guys thanB I realized have moved on to the newer 5
speeds!
Maybe the answer is the same, but I am thinking not since ShellB Spirax 90
B E.P. was specif ied in the Shop manual (for over 20 degrees C).
Your a dditional responses please .
Thanks, Gene
PS:B B Anyone know how I get rid of the "B" inserts in the list postings of
my e-mails?
I have tried separate line sentences in this one to see if that makes a
differenceB B They are at least as irritating to meB as I am sure to most
everyone.

I think I am late to class on this one.B B
I have come to understand that we should use only aB GL-4 rated fluid in the
old toploaders although GL-5 is fine/preferred for rear ends.
Supposedly the GL-5 rated ones have a higher sulfer additive content that is
bad for brass syncros and other yellow metal type components.
B B
While today's sulfer additive is buffered so as to not corrode brass
components, that does not prevent it from strippingB metal off the syncros as
they operate since it is harder than the yellow metals.
B B
Do I have that right?
If so, what shouldB brands andB SAE rating specification(s) are people using
these days in their toploaders?.
Thanks,B B GeneB
