Gear Oil GL-5 Series
Extreme Pressure Automotive Gear Oil
Gear Oil GL-5 are multipurpose lubricants. They are made from paraffinic base stocks and contain a carefully balanced additive package to provide market general gear protection and lubricant life. The sulfur-phosphorus extreme pressure additive technology used in Gear Oil GL-5 provides good thermal and oxidation stability. In addition, this lubricant is fortified with rust and corrosion inhibitors, a foam inhibitor,
and a pour point depressant.
Applications
- Gear Oil GL-5 is recommended for use in spiral bevel and hypoid differentials, power dividers, and oil lubricated steering axle wheel bearings at normal drain intervals, and suitable for use in manual transmissions (SAE 80W-90 for commercial vehicles).
- The multi-viscosity characteristics allow use in equipment operating over a broad ambient temperature range. This means good cold flow properties and gear protection.
- Gear Oil GL-5 is not recommended for use in synchronizer systems as it may affect the performance of the synchronizer gear system.
