Question

any were all auto centers have is gl5 they say its the same but mine calls for gl3 some body help

Answer 1

GL3 and GL5 are different,

but the difference is that  GL5 is Heavier Duty oil

It has about Twice as much anti-wear ingredients.

GL3 is medium duty oil.

You can use 3,4 or 5

So,,GL5 is actually Better for your bike than GL3.

It far exceeds GL3 properties
