I have a 2008 Jonway scooter and it requires that I use GL-3 gear oil but I cannot seem to find any anywhere?

Does anyone know where I can find it or another substitute that is equal?I have a 2008 Jonway scooter and it requires that I use GL-3 gear oil but I cannot seem to find any anywhere?
Use GL4 or 5





You'll probably only be able to Find GL-5 rated oil





..........................


I dunno if youre interested,and you dont NEED to Know,,,but here's a quick overview of bare basics.





';GL-'; means Gear Lube.





It's lubrication rating is based upon it's BASE OIL,,,which are all pretty much the same.


That's a ';minimum spec'; standard for ingredients necessary for use in gears





Then it's Lubrication Rating on a scale of 1 thru 5,,,


according to the oil's Anti-Friction Additive Package





GL1,,,is very light duty,,,and has NO antiwear additives.





GL2,,is ';light duty,plus';,,,and has Very Little anti -wear ingredients,,,maybe 1~2%





GL3 is ';light-to-medium duty oil';,,,it has Approx 3% anti-wear additives.





GL4 is wide range,,,light-to-heavy duty.


It's almost like the minimum ';Universal Oil'; that will go into almost anything


It has about 4% antiwear,,,which makes it sufficient for hypoid gears





GL5 is extreme heavy duty/severe service,,


It's a minimum 6% anti-wear.


It covers a lot of Mfgr Specs which are far beyond %26amp;dont apply to Scooters/motorcycles





There are other Higher Grades,,,but rarely specified,,hard to find,,,Exotic and expensive





So while GL3 or even GL2 is acceptible for your scooter,,


it's like a Bare Minimum.





GL5 is actually ';THE Stuff'; to use,,,,it runs cooler,quieter,lasts longer---the Oil lasts longer,,,and the parts it lubricates last much longer





Scooters use a tiny,tiny amount for a refill,,,,and the recommended change interval is usually quite a long time.





That makes ';Annual Cost'; of gear oil silly-cheap when figured on cost of conventional gear oil.





Which in turn means that you can use a Premium Brand/Type which cost 2~3Times more per-quart than ';plain Gear Oil';,,,,


and still only be spending a couple Dollars per year.





A Very Good Choice is Mobil 1 Synthetic.


Use the 75w-90 in your scooter.


You can use it at least TWICE as long as recommended,,,and when ya change it You'll be draining OUT better oil than brand new GL3 still in the bottle.


It's That Good.





***I'm NOT saying to extend the change interval,,,OK?


I'm saying,,,If you run Over the recco'd change miles or time,,


You can remain confident the oil is still in excellent condition and doing it's job properly.


So it's Cheap Insurance for your scooter's gearbox is protected as good as any lubricant can,,,


even under extreme or adverse conditions and even after oil has gotten far ';too old'; according to the book.





Mobil 1 is usually $8~9/qt


Cheap Crapp is $5





You can find it at any auto parts store,,probly even WalMart.





Anyway,,,use GL-3 or Higher.


GL-5 is easiest to find,,,and it's a HUGE Upgrade in lube performance.


Full Synthetic only cost a couple dollars more,,,and is a Huge Upgrade Again.





I'd use Mobil 1,,,75w-90


Lucas brand is excellent but a bit heavier,


Valvoline has a synthetic Blend thats good too





Hope that helpsI have a 2008 Jonway scooter and it requires that I use GL-3 gear oil but I cannot seem to find any anywhere?
Looks like GL-3 oil (came up scooter oil when I typed it in the search engine) comes back with 85W90 oil. The link below is from a site that carries several different weights of oil, and your type is listed for you.
