Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This oil is recommended for modern transmissions specifying API GL-4, GL-5, MT-1, or MIL-PRF-2105E. It is also compatible with ZF TE-ML-05B, 07A, 12B, 16F, and 17B specifications. It is suitable for manual transmissions with synchromesh or dog engagement, including sequential gearboxes, as well as transfer boxes, transaxles, or hypoid differentials *without* plate-type LSDs. Always consult your vehicle's manual to confirm the correct specification and type of gear oil required.
Care: Gear oil does not require regular 'care' in the traditional sense but relies on proper initial filling and periodic replacement as per the manufacturer's service schedule. Ensure the oil is stored in a clean, sealed container away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Setup: When changing your gear oil, ensure the transmission is at a moderate temperature (warm, not hot) for easier draining. Use a clean funnel and transfer system to fill the transmission to the correct level, typically indicated by a fill plug. Dispose of old oil responsibly according to local regulations.
