GL5 or MIL-PRF-2105E designation was first available to the market 22AUG1995. Automotive was 1987.
GL5 has a better EP designation and if there are no yellow metals in an AMC15 or AMC20 friction materials, then it would be the oil to use. I just don't know this fact for all replacement friction plates. I do know that my Ford 8.8 posi had aftermarket friction plates that have yellow metal in them and have seen several were the friction material has just disintegrated off the backing plates. Many wet clutch tractors have yellow metal in their friction material also. Splitting a full size tractor front from rear for clutch replacement is not that simple - off topic. Your AMC came with GL4 from the factory. A Rambler was likely GL3 AMC Service Specifications: "SAE #80 (SAE #90 may be used if SAE #80 is not available). Gear lubrication API-GL-4 quality may be used. ... Twin Grip American Motors Twin Grip rear axle lubricant ...
