Agri-Supply carries Warren GL1 in 90w for under $20 for five gallons.
http://www.agri-supply.com/

If you can't source GL1 locally and you don't want to pay shipping, just make
sure that the GL5 that you substitute is also rated MT1. The MT1 rating is
applied to the GL5 that is safe for yellow metal bearings and such that are
harmed by the straight GL5. Some GL5's without the MT1 rating are ok, but it
is very hard to tell which ones since they don't list the additives on the
label...

Good luck,
