I got my '05 Aveo w/manual trans. a couple months ago, the previous owner had a list of services done at 3,000 mi. ago... one being "transaxle lube" (I'm thinking he means transmission gear lube) he has written down GL5-75/90... I see it calls for GL4 (?)... the guy at the parts store said the GL5 "is caustic to the synchros" ??? I've never heard of this, but I've realy only delt with Muncie manual transmissions.... So how can gear oil be caustic?
Thanks for any help.
