GMC Maintenance Manual 1955-59 X-5703
Section 13 Lubrication, page 502 Hydra-Matic and Reduction Unit
    'Engine oil designated only "For service DG" and meeting MIL-L-2102A
specification, should be used in truck Hydra-Matic transmission and
reduction unit.'

    'If oil meeting above specifications cannot be obtained, "Automatic
