His mechanic is recommending BG ultra Guard LS Full synthetic oil with GL5 rating. This correct oil as well?

Others can comment, but I don't think you want to use a GL5 oil in that transmission.

Hi there
I recommend you Liqui moly 75w-90 full synthetic
Meyle 75w-80 full synthetic
With those you will be fine
