Product Information

Full details

This guide is for owners of high-performance road cars and competition vehicles requiring a GL-4 specification gear oil. Millers Oils CRX NT+ Nanodrive 75W offers superior wear reduction and friction minimization thanks to its advanced Nanodrive technology, leading to increased component protection and reduced power loss. A key consideration is that it is specifically for GL-4 applications and not suitable for systems requiring GL-5 or those with plate-type LSDs.

FAQs

What does GL-4 mean for gear oil?

GL-4 is an API (American Petroleum Institute) service classification for gear lubricants. It indicates a specific level of extreme pressure (EP) performance suitable for manual transmissions and some other applications, differing from the higher EP requirements of GL-5, which is often used in hypoid differentials.

Can I use this oil in a car that requires GL-5 oil?

No, it is not recommended. GL-5 oils contain higher levels of extreme pressure additives which can be corrosive to the yellow metals (like brass or bronze) often found in manual transmission synchronizer rings, which are designed for GL-4 oil.

What is Nanodrive Technology?

Nanodrive technology uses extremely small, spherical nanoparticle structures within the oil. These particles act like microscopic ball bearings, filling surface imperfections and reducing friction and wear, especially under high pressure, without compromising the oil's viscosity.

How often should I change this gear oil?

Refer to your vehicle manufacturer's service schedule. High-performance or competition use may necessitate more frequent changes than standard road use.

Is this oil suitable for limited-slip differentials (LSDs)?

CRX NT+ is suitable for hypoid differentials without plate-type LSDs. If your vehicle has a plate-type LSD, you will typically need a specific LSD-compatible oil, often with friction modifiers.

What is the benefit of a fully synthetic gear oil?

Fully synthetic gear oils offer superior thermal stability, better resistance to oxidation, improved low-temperature performance (better flow), and often longer service intervals compared to conventional mineral-based oils.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty engaging gears, especially when cold.

While CRX NT+ has excellent cold flow, ensure the correct oil level is maintained. If issues persist, verify the GL-4 specification is appropriate for your gearbox.

Gear noise or whine after oil change.

Double-check that the correct viscosity (75W) and specification (GL-4) have been used. Ensure the gearbox is filled to the correct level. Some new oil 'bedding-in' noise may occur initially.

Oil seal leakage.

Ensure all oil seals are in good condition before filling. CRX NT+ is synthetic and generally compatible with common seal materials, but always check for any known incompatibilities with your specific vehicle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces wear and friction due to Nanodrive technology.
  • Provides superior component protection under high load conditions.
  • Enhances drivetrain efficiency by minimizing power loss.
  • Improves cold-start performance with excellent cold flow properties.
  • Suitable for a wide range of manual transmissions, including sequential gearboxes.

Cons

  • Only suitable for GL-4 specified applications; not for GL-5.
  • Not recommended for use in differentials with plate-type LSDs.
  • Requires careful application to ensure compatibility with specific gearbox designs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the vehicle's gearbox, differential, or transfer box manufacturer specifies a 75W GL-4 lubricant.
  2. Drain the old lubricant completely.
  3. Using appropriate equipment, fill the unit to the manufacturer's recommended level. Typically, this is until the oil starts to weep from the filler plug hole.

Compatibility:

  • Recommended For: Manual transmissions, hypoid differentials, and transfer boxes requiring a GL-4 oil. This includes transmissions with synchromesh or dog engagement, and sequential gearboxes.
  • Not Recommended For: Systems requiring a GL-5 oil. Differentials equipped with plate-type Limited Slip Differentials (LSDs). Always consult your vehicle's service manual or manufacturer for specific lubricant requirements.

Care:

  • Store the oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the container sealed when not in use to prevent contamination.
  • Follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended service interval for lubricant changes.
