Hi

I'd like to know what certification (API GL4 or API GL5) does the manual gearbox fitted on phaseI normally aspirated 2.0 S40 requires (M5P transmission). I've heard that this tranny uses TransElf TRX 75W80 which rated API GL5 but RedlineOil told me that it is factory filled with ATF oil??????

I'd like to put Redline MTL 70W80 in this gearbox but this oil is rated GL4 while TransElf TRX is GL5. Do you know what certification of oil I should choose in the M5P tranny?

THX
