I have a 2008 Jonway scooter and it requires that I use GL-3 gear oil, but I can not find any anywhere?

Does anyone know where to find him or any other alternative, which is equal to? I have no manual, but says it all the use of GL-3 gear oil, only. does weight. jo no luck here

Use GL4 or 5, you will probably only be able to find GL-5 rated oil .......................... I do not know if youre interested, and do not need to know, but here is a brief overview the bare basics. "GL-" means Gear Lube. It's lubrication evaluation is based on base stocks, which are all the same. This is the "minimum spec" standard for the ingredients necessary for use in the equipment then it's lubrication reviews on a scale of 1 to 5,,, according to oil Anti-friction additives GL1,,, is very light, "and has no anti-wear additives. GL2, is "light, plus", and has very little anti-wear additives,,, maybe 1 ~ 2% GL3 "light-to medium-duty oil ",,, it has about 3%-wear additives. GL4 is a broad spectrum," light-to-heavy. It's almost like a minimum of 'universal oil ", which goes into almost everything has around 4% against wear, which is sufficient for GL5 hypoid gears is extremely heavy / severe service, "It's at least 6% anti-wear. Mfgr Specs includes many that are far beyond the borders & dont pay for scooters / motorcycles There are other higher classes, but rarely specified, it is difficult to find,,, Exotic and expensive so while GL3, GL2, or even be acceptable for your scooter, it's a bare minimum. GL5 is a "Stuff" to apply,,,, run cooler, quieter, lasts longer --- Oil lasts longer, and delete parts last much longer, Scooters used small, small amount of content, "and recommended change interval is usually quite a long time. This is the "Annual Costs" gear silly-cheap oil, when it lost the cost of conventional gear oil. Which in turn means that you can use Premium Make / type which was 2 ~ 3 times more per quart than-"plain Gear oil ",,,, and still only spend a few dollars year. Very good choice is Mobil 1 Synthetic. Use 75W-90 in his scooter. You can use it at least twice as long as recommended, and if I change both comprehensive OUT more oil than the brand new GL3 still in the bottle. It's so good. *** I'm not saying extended change interval,,, OK? I said, "If you change the pass recco'd miles or time, you can still convinced that oil is still in excellent condition, and that is to work properly. So it's cheap insurance for your scooter transmission is protected as good as a lubricant can, "even under extreme or adverse conditions, even after crude oil reached and "too old" by the book. Mobil 1 is usually $ 8 ~ 9/qt Cheap crappy is $ 5 You can find it in any auto parts store, the problem and Walmart. Anyway, use a GL-3 or higher. GL-5 is the easiest to find, and it is a huge upgrade lube performance. Fully synthetic only worth a few dollars more, and Huge Upgrade Again. I use Mobil 1,,, 75W-90 Lucas brand is excellent, but a bit harder Valvoline Synthetic Blend it is too good hope that helps
