Some of you have asked about the color of the 75W90 version of the GL5 Differential Gear Lube. Now the 75W140 version is clear amber, whereas the 75W90 is kinda of a greenish/purplish fluid.

Well, there is a reason. (Here goes).

Classic Car enthusiasts often are sticklers about detail to the nth degree. The Gear Lubes they use fall into this category as well.

So when we developed passenger car gear lubes (as an extension of our racing formulations) the Classic Car enthusiasts insisted on gear lubes that mimicked the color and consistency of the kind of gear lubes their Grandfathers and greatgrandfathers had used in the older cars; except SF's lubes are all currently HD GL5, MT-1 oils.
 
Mola,
The only greenish/purplish color I saw when adding the HDS-5 75W-90 to the rear diff was due to the physical strain of trying to use a hand siphon pump to add room temp fluid to the diff
