The problem is not with certain yellow metals, but the (real) risk of the OD
clutch slipping due to certain anti-friction additives. The repair book
especially warns against such additives, and there has over the years been
various reports of problems with OD boxes caused by such additives. GL-5
contains significantly much more such additives than do GL-4.
