Red Line mt 90 is gl 4 , Sta lube that eric mentioned
has a gl 4 rating , most of the 90 whts. will have
several ratings , I found Sta Lube at O'rielys they
also have a synthetic in Sta Lube , From the type 2
archives Sta Lube seems to be a widely used oil in the
vintage bus crowed, theres lots of good oils out there
now so the brand is kinda of a personal choice .The
red Line oil came from Jeg's.Hope this helps

The book say's hypoid gear oil I have been trying to
search for the 90 weight with a GL -4 rateing and
found
TITAN Gear LS 90, 140
LS (Limited Slip) hypoid gear oil for highly stressed
normal and limited slip differentials in cars, vans,
trucks, buses, tractors, construction and industrial
machinery. Protects all metals normally found in
gearboxes against corrosion and does not leave
deposits on oil seals.
But it is API GL-5/ GL-5 LS
but the
TITAN Gear Syn 50
A fully synthetic manual transmission lubricant for
extended drain and severe service applications in
heavy duty manual transmissions in trucks and other
commercial vehicles. Recommended for use in Eaton,
Roadranger and Rockwell transmissions operating under
arduous conditions such as high ambient temperatures
and heavy loads, or where long oil drain periods are
required. Suitable for use in Allison transmissions
for on-road and off-highway applications where a C4
specification is required. Can be used where an SAE 50
or SAE 40 engine oil, or an SAE90 gear oil to API GL-4
is specified.
Specifications:
Eaton Caterpillar TO-4
SAE 50 Komatsu Dresser
Rockwell ZF TE-ML 01/03
Komatsu Allison C-4
API GL-4
Interesting, Paul did they say what brand they use?
Thanks
