The MORRIS Golden Film AG90 Classic Gear Oil is designed for owners of classic and vintage vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, tractors, and commercial vehicles, requiring a non-EP (Extreme Pressure) lubricant. Its primary benefit is its safe formulation for phosphor-bronze components and excellent natural film strength, offering long-term stability without EP additives. A potential caveat is that it is specifically for applications requiring non-EP lubricants, and not suitable for modern gearboxes that mandate EP specifications. Key features include mineral oil base, good anti-foam performance, and suitability for manual gearboxes, axles, worm gear drives, bearings, and chains.

'Non-EP' means the oil does not contain Extreme Pressure additives. This formulation is crucial for components like bronze synchromesh rings or bearings where EP additives can cause corrosion or premature wear. Always confirm your manufacturer's recommendation.
Generally, no. Modern transmissions often require higher performance specifications, including EP additives (e.g., API GL4 or GL5). AG90 is specifically intended for classic and vintage applications that call for a non-EP lubricant.
Consult your vehicle's original service manual or the component manufacturer's specifications. Look for recommendations for API GL2 or specific mentions of 'non-EP' gear oil for gearboxes, axles, or other driveline components.
It is generally not recommended to mix different types of gear oils, especially if one is EP and the other is non-EP. This can compromise the performance and protective qualities of both. Drain and flush the system if changing lubricant types.
When stored correctly in its original sealed container, mineral-based gear oils like this typically have a long shelf life, often several years. However, always refer to any date codes on the packaging if available.
The required amount of oil depends on the specific component (gearbox, axle, etc.). Typically, you fill until the oil level reaches the bottom of the fill plug hole. Consult your vehicle's service manual for precise fill levels and procedures.
Verify the correct viscosity (AG90) is used and that the lubricant is suitable for the specific gearbox type (non-EP required). Check for internal wear or damage if the issue persists after lubrication.
Inspect seals for wear or damage. While this is a mineral oil, ensure it's compatible with any rubber or synthetic seals present; classic vehicles often have robust seal materials.
Ensure the correct fill level. Low levels can cause increased noise. Check for any foreign debris within the gearbox. If noise persists, it may indicate bearing or gear wear.
Compatibility: This oil is specifically formulated for equipment that requires a non-EP lubricant, meeting API GL2 standards. Always consult your vehicle's service manual or the component manufacturer's specifications to confirm if a non-EP GL2 lubricant is recommended. It is safe for use with phosphor-bronze components.
Setup: Ensure the gearbox or drivetrain component is clean and free from old lubricant, sediment, or contaminants before filling. Use a clean funnel and, if necessary, a hand pump to fill the component to the recommended level, typically indicated by a fill plug or level mark.
Care: Store the oil in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Regularly check fluid levels as per your vehicle's maintenance schedule. While this oil offers long-term stability, periodic oil changes are still recommended based on mileage or time, as specified by the equipment manufacturer.
