Maybe explains Petronus Tutela Technyx GL4+ ? No one could decide what to call it? Thank you Guy for the GL4/GL5 yellow metals explanation. That's the first time I've seen a plausible explanation for why GL5 seems to be recommended for some boxes which I wouldn't previously dared to use it.
If the myth goes back to the '60's that explains why it's so strongly embossed on my memory. Astonishing it's still got traction to this day isn't it. Perhaps a bad failure on the oil company's part not to have educated us all better though?
GL4 Plus technically does not exist, but I beleive they are GL4 performance and pass the old GL5 ep test requirements but not the current, hense they do not state GL4/GL5.
As for oil companies educating better, tough one. I can't see them doing that anytime soon!
Cheers,
Guy
