however, using gl5 in a vehicle that specifies gl4 may cause premature wear because there is too much sulfur in the gl5

Though I doubt that it would make enough difference to worry about.  Probably similar to the synthetic motor oil deal where it's possible to prove it's better, but conventional oil has been used in cars that lasted 300,000 miles so the true benefit is nearing zero.
