I saw some hyundai manual gear oil at my dealership. It was 75w/90 GL-4 semi-synthetic. It even had a shell logo on the label!

Sorry, what I meant to say was, perhaps enquire at shell or just use a substitute brand. I'm not sure that hyundai would put any magic pixie dust in the oil.

Redline MT-90. It's just about the only widely available GL-4 oil.

Cheaper? MT-90 is only $13/qt here. Most OEM stuff is more expensive than that.

Redline Shockproof is GL-4. Pick your thickness from three grades. I use the lightweight for the Gen Coupe and it works great.
