I never heard of GL-9. Is that a typo? Is there a motorcycle shop near you? That might be better than trying to find a marina in KSA. Best case is for you to find a GL-5/6 hypoid type gear oil in SAE 90 or 110. Next best would be a 80W-90 GL-5/6. Next would be a 75W-90 GL-5/6. If you can't find those, try a 85W-140 GL-5. Also, Toyota recommends SAE 90 GL5 for their trucks' rear differential. So you might try a Toyota dealership.

Well, this is just my thoughts. I think any SAE 90 GL-5 will work fine. But if I lived in Saudi Arabia I might opt for the SAE 140.

you can't find the good stuff, that's like living in Bordeaux, France and not being able to find good wine.

you guys do some crazy shiites in the kingdom, use straight 140.

Let us know how that SAE 140 works for you, especially on those pleasant summer days!
