Product Information

Full details

Carlube Driveline 80W-90 is a high-quality mineral-based manual transmission fluid designed for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles that require an API GL-4 lubricant. It excels at maintaining transmission efficiency and provides reliable low-temperature performance, though users must verify its specific API GL-4 compatibility against their vehicle's manual, as it is not intended for applications requiring GL-5 specifications.

FAQs

Can I use this fluid if my car requires API GL-5?

No. API GL-4 and GL-5 have different additive packages. Using GL-4 in a GL-5 application may cause insufficient protection, and using GL-5 in a GL-4 application can corrode soft-metal gearbox components.

Is this a synthetic oil?

No, this is a high-quality mineral-based transmission fluid.

Does it meet ZF specifications?

Yes, this fluid meets various ZF TE-ML standards. Please check the back of the bottle or your vehicle manual for the specific ZF number required.

How often should I change this fluid?

Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service interval, which can typically be found in your owner's manual.

Can I use this in an automatic transmission?

No, this product is specifically formulated for manual transmissions and is not suitable for automatic gearbox systems.

Is it suitable for heavy-duty trucks?

Yes, it is designed for both passenger car and commercial vehicle applications requiring API GL-4 fluid.

Troubleshooting

Notchy or difficult gear shifting

Check the transmission fluid level and top up if low; if problem persists, consider a full flush to remove debris.

Whining noise from the gearbox

Verify the fluid level is correct; if noise continues, the fluid may be degraded or the transmission may have mechanical wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before adding the fluid, always consult your vehicle handbook to confirm the required viscosity (80W-90) and service classification (API GL-4).

  1. Ensure the vehicle is on level ground and the engine is cool.
  2. Locate the transmission fill and drain plugs.
  3. Drain the old fluid into a suitable container and replace the drain plug.
  4. Fill the transmission with the recommended quantity of Carlube Driveline fluid until it reaches the fill hole.
  5. Inspect the drain plug and seals for leaks after the first 50 miles of driving.

Store the container in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture contamination.
