<x-flowed>>Started checking around and there is a 'new' standard for GL5
which is GL5 - MT1. Penerite here in Oz has a 80 w 90 GL5 - MT1 available and the manufacturer swore that it was suitable for(in fact developed for) trannies with copper/brass/bronze components (Copper alloys).Even says so on the back of the bottle!
If I remember our recent discussion correctly, copper is not the issue, as bronze and brass both have copper. The issue is the percentage of *aluminum* and *zinc* used in the VW brass alloy, and that conventional GL-5 lubricants seem to have adverse effects on the Al and Zi. The question that remains unanswered (I think) is the compatibility with the synthetic GL-5 lubricants.
