Gear Oil GL-5
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 acceptable 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 are 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).
- Their multiviscosity characteristics allow their use in equipment operating over a broad ambient temperature range. This means good cold flow properties and gear protection.
Customer benefits
