M-Man has it pretty well covered. GL-4 if maked as marine gear lube. It"s formulated to resist corrosion and still provide lubrication even when a seal has failed and the gear box is water contaminated. There is GL-5 and GL-5 yellow metal friendly . Yellow metal contains copper so that would be brass and bronze. Back in the bad old days . Operators of trucks etc would reduce gear box failures .

Yet they are terrified to put a super duper corrosion inhibiting lube with excellent pressure point wear protection called motor oil in a transmission? Few people also understand that 90wt gear lube has the same viscosity as 40 to 50wt motor oil.
