It balances friction properties so synchronizers engage cleanly, avoids the reactive sulfurs found in many GL-5 formulas that can harm yellow metals, and supports extended component life under a range of operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this gear oil protect synchronizers and brass components?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Line 75W-80 GL-4 is formulated without the aggressive sulfur-phosphorus additives common in GL-5 gear oils, which can attack brass and bronze syncros.
