Gear Oil GL-5
Multipurpose lubricants
Gear Oil GL-5 gear lubricants are recommended for use in spiral bevel and hypoid differentials, power dividers, and oil-lubricated steering axle wheel bearings.
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.
