This has been bugging me for a long time.  Okay, so GL5 gear oils have
stuff that's supposed to damage yellow metals (like brass synchros), and
GL4 does not.  Does a given gear oil *have* to have these nasty
chemicals to be GL5, or is it just that most GL5 has them?  What about
GL4; could having these chemicals disqualify a gear oil for GL4 a GL4
rating?  The fact that there are so many GL4/5 rated oils around makes
this hard to guess; please hold my hand through this one.
