    final drive gear oil?

    while performing maintenance on my GS650GLX, clymers states to use SAE 90W hypoid gear oil rated GL-5 for the final drive... is SAE 80-90W hypoid gear oil rated GL-5 the same or safe to use?
    Thanks in advance for your reponse(s)!!

    It's the same. I've been using 80W-90 gear lube rated GL-5 for years. I use the cheap Walmart no-name brand, and change it once a year.

      Listen to Nick. Some of us around here think he knows what he is talking about most of the time. Just kidding Nick!!!!!! Seriously, use the multi-grade, it works great and I also use the generic stuff from the base gas station, change it once a year.

        Thanks Nick and Dallyr for the responses. I thought that was okay, just wanted to make sure before I messed something up.
