I concur with HO455. Here's the verbiage from Novak: "When filling your 465 with gear oil, we recommend that you select a conventional mineral oil or a para-synthetic in lieu of a full synthetic oil.... "An 80W-90, API-GL5 or MT-1 rated fluid is very good."

Though I have 3 or 4 gallons of Sta-Lube GL4 on my shelf, If I did not, and with it being such a hassle to get GL4... I would just go with GL5 and be done with it.

My two cents. Good luck!
