Product Information

Full details

The Granville MTF FS 75W/85 is a high-performance, fully synthetic manual transmission fluid designed for vehicle owners and mechanics seeking smoother gear transitions and extended gearbox longevity. It excels in protecting sensitive synchronisers and managing operating temperatures in modern manual transmissions, though it is specifically formulated for GL-4 applications and should not be used in systems requiring GL-5 or other non-compatible specifications.

FAQs

Can I use this in an automatic transmission?

No, this fluid is specifically formulated for manual transmissions and should not be used in automatic gearboxes.

Is this a GL-5 fluid?

No, this is an API GL-4 fluid. Never use it in applications strictly requiring GL-5 as the additive packages differ and may cause damage to synchronisers.

How often should I change this gear oil?

Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended service intervals found in your owner's manual.

Can this be mixed with other gear oils?

It is strongly recommended to perform a complete flush rather than mixing with unknown or different types of gear oil to maintain performance properties.

What is the primary benefit of a synthetic base oil?

Synthetic base oils offer better thermal stability, resistance to oxidation, and more consistent viscosity across a wider range of temperatures compared to mineral oils.

Troubleshooting

Notchy or difficult gear shifting after fluid change

Verify that the correct volume of oil was added and ensure the vehicle manufacturer's specific fluid viscosity and API GL-4 requirement were matched.

Visible metallic particles in the old drained oil

This may indicate internal mechanical wear. Consult a professional mechanic to inspect the transmission internals as fluid replacement may not resolve existing mechanical damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved gear shift precision and smoothness
  • Enhanced thermal stability for demanding driving conditions
  • Contains additives that protect delicate synchroniser components
  • Contributes to better fuel efficiency through reduced friction
  • Versatile range of OEM approvals for European and domestic vehicles

Cons

  • Not suitable for transmissions requiring GL-5 lubricants
  • Available in 1-litre bottles which may require multiple purchases for larger capacities
  • Requires professional verification of specific vehicle transmission manual

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that your vehicle manual specifically requests an API GL-4 fluid with a 75W/85 viscosity grade. Always drain the transmission fluid when the unit is at operating temperature to facilitate full drainage of contaminants. When refilling, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface to prevent under or over-filling. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use to prevent moisture contamination.
