SOLAR Premium Series Automatic Manual Gear Oils GL-5 API 80W90

Description

Solar Manual Gear Oil SAE 80W-90 GL-5 is a high-performance, multi-grade gear lubricant formulated with premium quality base oils and a balanced extreme pressure (EP) additive system. It is designed to meet the stringent performance requirements of API GL-5 for use in hypoid gears operating under severe load conditions. This oil ensures exceptional gear protection, thermal stability, and extended equipment life, even in high-load and high-speed applications.

Available API
80W90
Applications
  • Suitable for use in hypoid axles, differentials, and final drives requiring API GL-5 performance.
  • Ideal for manual transmissions and gearboxes in commercial trucks, buses, construction, and agricultural machinery.
  • Suitable for off-highway and heavy-duty vehicles operating in severe conditions.
  • Not suitable for synchronized transmissions requiring API GL-4 lubricants.
Features & Benefits
    • Excellent EP Performance: Protects gears against wear, scoring, and pitting under heavy-duty shock loads.
    • Wide Operating Temperature Range: Maintains consistent viscosity for reliable performance in both low and high temperatures.
    • Outstanding Oxidation & Thermal Stability: Reduces sludge, varnish, and deposit formation during prolonged use.
    • Rust & Corrosion Resistance: Guards metal surfaces against rust and corrosion, even in the presence of moisture.
    • Enhanced Seal Compatibility: Prevents leakage and maintains integrity of seals and gaskets.
Recommended For
  • Hypoid gear differentials, transaxles, and final drive units in commercial, industrial, and agricultural vehicles.
  • Gearboxes requiring API GL-5 SAE 80W-90 performance.
