FEEDBACK ON "STA-Lube 80w-90 GL4" IN MY MUNCIE M20.

Just to recap the drain plug was leaking in my muncie and i had to drain the Redline MT-90 out of it to reseal the drain plug so i decided to try the conventional Sta lube 80w-90 GL-4 lube to see how it would perform in my M20 muncie.

I just filled my M20 with STA-Lube 80w-90 GL4 today and went for 1 more cruise before winter hits (if it ever gets here) to see how the Sta lube does.(It was 69.5 deg today here in NY state,avg for Jan is 25-30 deg)

The trans shifted normal and felt the same shifiting with the sta Lube as when i had the Redline MT-90 in it. The only very suttle difference i could tell was the trans seemd to run a little quieter with the STA lube vs MT-90 but the trans was never what i would call uncommonly noisey to begin with.

Has anyone else tried the Sta lube yet?

If yes how did your trans act,shift,and how was the noise level?

Thats what I run in my high nickel geared ST-10. It works better than anything else I have tried.

I just put some in a toploader 4 speed that I swapped into a '73 Mustang and it is very quiet and smooth.

Been using it for about 40 years. Just put some in my roto-tiller last summer. Kind of hard to find GL-4. Use GL-4 in the Muncie and GL-5 in the 12 bolt posi. Works fine for me...shifts fine; no "noise" that I can detect.
