You are looking at a high end synthetic oil. GL4 is getting a bit
harder to find, but lots of GL5 for uder $25 a gallon in the USA - a
bit more in Canada. Walmart USA carries LubKing GL4 90 weight for $32
a gallon.

I'm told to get either Amsoil or Redline GL4 because it's for a Toyota W59
transmission with yellow metal that can be stripped off by GL5 additives
(plus there are no hypoid gears in the manual transmission).

So it's going to be GL-4 but which one?

Even the Amsoil is $70 per gallon.

What's so special about these two fluids that makes them "worth" 70 dollars
a gallon?


Synthetics last longer and lubricate (reduce friction) better. Most of
us don't need it but if you are planning yo keep the vehicle for a long
time, use it under harsh conditions, it is worth the extra money.

Corvettes come from the factory with synthetic engine oil. The Cruze
does not.
