For what it's worth... Here's the scoop on the NAPA 80-90w gear oil from the tech department at Valvoline (800-354-8957) as they told me today...

"NAPA High Performance 80-90w Gear Oil GL-3/GL-4/GL-5 (NAPA part number 75-210) which we [Valvoline] make does not contain active sulfates and is perfectly safe for your yellow metal gears. I wish we could get the word out there about this..."

The guy was really cool and spent about 15 minutes on the phone with me explaining things.
