This may sound a step too far but - here we go.
For chain lube I will be using gear oil but I have seen that some is a charcoal/lead colour and I have a nice gold chain. I have an unopened bottle of Carlube EP90 GL-5 that I might take back and swap but need to make sure I am buying a nice golden oil and not one that looks like it has been in a tractor for 20 years
Doubt you'll notice the oil once it's on.
You should try some oil on that thumb Sharpie :lol

Manley working hands - what can I say.
So what about my question earlier.
"GL-5 has a lower coefficient of friction due to the higher concentration of EP additives over GL-4, and thus synchros can not engage as effectively."
The the higher concentration of EP additives is not going to harm my o (x) rings is it ?
I have found the data sheet for it
9.1. Information on basic physical and chemical properties Appearance Clear liquid.
Colour Brown.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
