Not quite true- You don't want to run straight GL-5 in older transmissions because it has hypoid additive that can pit synchros, but if you use a Gl4/GL5 rated gear oil you will be fine. Don't run straight 30. The GL spec stands for "Gear Lube" and is an API rating, has no bearing as to what is really in the oil.
