If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
As Kirkynut says, the difference is in the additives.
The most common are GL4 and GL5. GL5 is required in the axles, GL4 in the transmission.
Gl5 used to destroy the brass bushes in the gearbox, but I would have thought that this problem would have been sorted by now.
However, as Suzuki actually specify GL4 in the transmission, best to stick with it.

I put Carlube semi synthetic in the Toyota, silver bottle?, IIRR, it claims GL4/GL5.
Drop carlube an email www.carlube.co.uk/
I'd have thought that it should be ok, but the GL5 spec calls for more friction modifiers, so you may get an even more notchy gearchange.
There is another spec MT1 that is for lorries, and if the oil meets that it won't attack brass.
Comma do GL4 oils quite cheaply.
