Shell Spirax S5 ATE 75W-90 ?

[SubLGT]

Anybody here have experience with Shell Spirax S5 ATE 75w-90 Gl-4/5 gear oil?

I just came across it today. Looks interesting, but apparently available in the USA only in 20L bucket minimum.

From the data sheet:
"Shell Spirax S5 ATE 75W-90 benefits have been recognised
by a number of leading sport car manufacturers who are
using it as initial and service fill gear oil. "

subaru I'm guessing

I'd be interested in using it in my 2011 forester and other subarus in the family (2013 outback 6mt)

Something more mundane, in a Subaru transaxle. I'm always on the lookout for GL5 rated gear oils that also make Subaru synchros happy. Right now, that is a very small group of oils.

Has Mobil Delvac 75W90 been tried? I have purchased it in gallons before.
Ive run across this same thing with some other gear lubes. Like Schaeffers. They have several I would like to use but pail only. [censored] am I going to do with 5 gallons of gear oil?
