Truegard GL-5 Gear Lubricants are premium quality GL-5 rated gear oils blended from highly refined high Viscosity Index base stocks. Truegard Gear Lubricants, through the combination of highly refined base oils and up-to-date additive technology, are more economical than oils of lesser quality and lower initial cost. Equipment life may be longer and more trouble-free, and maintenance cost and downtime may be significantly reduced through the use of Truegard Gear Lubricants in conjunction with a dedicated preventive maintenance program.

 Truegard GL-5 Gear Lubricants are available in 3 multi-viscosity grades with a Limited Slip option to comply with most automotive and truck applications. They provide excellent load carrying capability, oxidation stability, rust and corrosion resistance and anti-foam protection. Dyed Red for ease of leak detection and contains tackifier for added adhesiveness.

FEATURES 

• Formulated with sulfur-phosphorus EP additives to provide anti-wear and anti-scuff performance. • Excellent oxidation resistance

• Rust and corrosion protection for gears and bearings

• Excellent anti-foam properties

• Added tackifier for better adhesiveness

• Dyed Red for ease of leak detection

• Excellent performance in high load operations and also extreme temperatures

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services
  • GL-5 is the API service category for gear oils formulated with sulfur-phosphorus extreme pressure (EP) additives, specifically designed to protect hypoid and other high-stress gear sets against wear, scuffing, and shock loading. It represents a higher level of EP protection than GL-4, making it the correct choice for applications such as automotive and truck differentials, heavy equipment gearboxes, and transportation gear drives operating under heavy or variable loads.

  • The '80W' indicates the oil's cold-temperature pumpability rating, while '90' describes its viscosity at normal operating temperature, making 80W90 a good fit for moderate climates and standard-duty differentials and gearboxes. The Truegard GL-5 line also covers other multi-viscosity grades, including 85W-140 (referenced in the ArvinMeritor 0-76-A approval), which is typically specified for higher operating temperatures or more severe duty cycles; always follow your equipment manufacturer's viscosity recommendation.

  • The Truegard GL-5 line offers a dedicated Limited Slip variant as a separate product. The standard 80W90 listed here does not identify itself as a limited slip formula, so if your axle or differential specifically requires a friction modifier for limited slip operation, you should verify whether the LS version is the correct choice before use.

  • This oil meets API GL-5 and MT-1, MIL-PRF-2105E, SAE J2360, Mack GO-J/GO-H/GO-G, ArvinMeritor 0-76-D (SAE 80W-90), and International Truck (Navistar) CEMS B-22. Fleet operators and technicians should cross-reference these approvals against their specific equipment manufacturer's requirements to confirm suitability before filling.

  • The red dye is added specifically to simplify leak detection -- a red fluid trail can be quickly identified as gear oil rather than another fluid type, helping speed up diagnosis. The dye does not affect the oil's lubrication or protection properties, and the product also contains a tackifier additive that improves adhesiveness so the oil clings to gear surfaces more effectively.

  • Avoid direct skin contact during dispensing and transfer; if contact occurs, rinse the affected area with soap and water immediately. The product is noted as unlikely to present significant health hazards under normal handling conditions. Used or waste oil must be disposed of properly in compliance with applicable local regulations.
