Superior performance, extended drain, synthetic transmission axle oil is a fully synthetic, multipurpose, heavy-duty gear lubricant specifically designed for heavy duty differentials that call for an API GL-5 type product. Outstanding thermal stability especially in applications where heat, wear and extended drain intervals contribute to severe service. High film strength and excellent shear stability. Excellent low temperature properties promote oil flow to help protect gears and bearings even at sub-zero temperatures. Synthetic formula provides maximum protection over a wide range of temperatures. Separates readily from water.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services
  • This lubricant is specifically designed for heavy duty differentials and is also suitable for transfer cases on automobiles, light and heavy-duty trucks, farm equipment, and heavy construction equipment. Additional applications include manual transmissions, rear wheel bearings, manual steering gears, universal joints, and industrial gear systems requiring extreme pressure oils with strong low and high temperature performance.

  • Yes — transfer cases and manual transmissions specifying SAE 80W-140 or 85W-140 grades are listed compatible applications for this product, so it can serve as a suitable option where either of those grades is required.

  • Its excellent low temperature properties promote oil flow to help protect gears and bearings even at sub-zero temperatures, making it well suited for equipment operating in cold climates or during cold starts.

  • Yes, it is a fully synthetic, extended drain gear lubricant with outstanding thermal stability, specifically designed to handle the demands of severe service conditions where heat, wear, and longer drain intervals are factors.

  • Yes, this lubricant is listed as suitable for differentials used in conjunction with Eaton and Meritor extended warranties calling for an SAE 80W-140 grade, as well as meeting ArvinMeritor Specification O76-B for standard drain and O76-Q and R for extended drain intervals.

  • This oil separates readily from water, which helps maintain lubricant integrity and consistent protection in applications where moisture ingress or contamination may be a concern.
