Applications
• Recommended for automotive hypoid gear applications requiring lubricants meeting MIL-L-2105D, MIL-L-2105C, MIL-L-2105B, API Service GL-5 or where EP, multi-purpose or hypoid type gear oils are specified.
• Recommended where loading is severe and maximum gear protection is required. “Clean gear” technology makes it particularly suitable where gear oil temperatures are high.
• Not recommended for manual transmissions and transaxles where the manufacturer specifies API GL-4(mild-EP) lubricants, or where the manufacturer advises against
Performance standards
• API GL-5, US MIL-L-2105D
Customer benefits
Prolongs Equipment Life
Excellent wear and friction properties prevent wears and scratches on the surface of gear, extending equipment life. The combination of superior base oil and noticeable additives pprovide long oil service life by resisting oxidation and oil thickening as well as provide against corrosion of ferrous and non-ferrous components.
Less Deposit and Sludge Formation
Advanced detergent and anti-oxidant additives provide excellent equipment availability by avoiding failure due to deposit-induced seal wear and leakage.
Smooth Shifting
High-quality friction modifiers offer smooth shifting in manual transmissions by controlling glazing and coking of friction surfaces in synchronizing mechanisms.
