API-GL5 Is Recommended in the Owners Manual

Verbatim from...

P. 166 of my 1998 Jeep Cherokee Owners Manual:

.....

Manual Transmission

Recommended Fluid

Fluid Type: Use only Mopar Gear Lubricant (P/N 4549624) or equivalent SAE 75W-90 API-GL5 grade.

......

I use Mobil 1 75W/90, available at your local parts store and it shifts really nice, even in the cold.

Anyone know where a PDF of these owner's manuals exists by chance ?
I hate getting my original dirty when working on my rig.

There appears to be a part number on the back: 83-326-9851

Thanks !

Great Lakes Jeeps site has a PDF of the AX-15 Service Manual and others.
Very Helpful...
