GL4+ aka GL4/5 is a GL5 fluid with the corrosiveness of a GL4. Basically you get the increased
EP/AW protection of a GL5 fluid but it contains the same level of Sulfur and Phosphorous (corrosive) additives as a GL4. They do this through using newer Boron (non-corrosive) EP/AW additives.

I thought the GL4 and GL5 specs were just different -- one wasn't necessarily better than the other.
But still, I think I'm right that the spec for our transmission is GL4, not GL4/5 or whatever.

These are the only Pentosin specs I could find...
