Gear 300 is a fantastic performing fluid in both GL-4 and GL-5 applications. It can meet both ratings because it uses a different add-pack than is typically found which is why it is listed as:
"
All mechanical transmission, synchronized or not synchronized gearboxes, gearbox/differential, transfer
gearboxes and hypoid differentials without limited slip system operating under shocks, heavy loads and
low revolution speed or moderate loads and high revolution speed.
...
Suitable for any type of seal and yellow material used in gearboxes design.
"
But, it does not seem to have the performance-enhancing additives you usually find in a modern MTF like Synchomesh, Red Line MTL/85/90, Amsoil MTF/MTG and Pentosin MTF2.
In an non-clutch LSD transaxle (with hypoid) I would certainly recommend Motul Gear 300 or Subaru Extra S.
