SOLAR Premium Series Automatic Manual Gear Oils GL-5 API 90

Description

Solar Manual Gear Oil SAE 90 GL-5 is a premium-quality extreme pressure (EP) gear lubricant, formulated with high-performance base oils and advanced additive technology. It is specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of API GL-5, offering superior protection for hypoid gears operating under heavy loads and shock conditions. This oil provides excellent wear resistance, rust and corrosion protection, and thermal stability, making it ideal for use in high-demand automotive and industrial gear applications.

Available API

90 Applications

Automotive gearboxes, hypoid differentials, and rear axles requiring API GL-5 level performance.
Light- and heavy-duty commercial trucks and off-road vehicles.
Industrial gear drives operating under high torque or shock-loading conditions.
Not recommended for synchronized manual transmissions requiring GL-4 oils.

Features & Benefits

- - Enhanced EP Performance: Offers excellent load-carrying capabilities, especially for hypoid gears subject to high sliding contact.
  - Superior Wear Protection: Minimizes gear wear, even under high shock-load conditions.
  - Oxidation and Thermal Stability: Resists degradation at high temperatures, ensuring long service life.
  - Rust and Corrosion Inhibition: Protects metal surfaces against moisture, oxidation, and corrosion.
  - Foam Resistance: Maintains a stable oil film and prevents gear damage due to foaming or aeration.

Recommended For

Hypoid gear sets in passenger cars, trucks, buses, and off-road equipment.
Differentials and axles operating under high torque or shock loads.
