SAE90 EP GL4 is what I used in my 4-speed SM420 for decades. The synchros were slow but didn't clash. When I switched to Mineral oil as I've said then they began clashing when hot on my recent trip to AZ. I'll go back to the GL4 soon but it's way too cold here for a good test right now, -14 last night. I'll wait for spring.
