    Gl-5

    I went through this a few years ago with the daughters sand rail. From what I understand the GL-5 is harmful to all yellow metals. Don't know what if any yellow metals are used in a T-loader but if any I would be sure before using.

    Maybe Butch will chime in.

    I believe Bob the oil guy was one of the sources that said not to use dual rating or GL5....GL5 supposedly is NG for the Toploader

    I presume that brass would be a yellow metal and seems to me that the syncro rings are brass
