SOLAR PREMIUM SERIES GEAR OIL SAE 140 API GL-5
Description
Solar Manual Gear Oil SAE 140 GL-5 is a premium quality, extreme pressure (EP) gear lubricant formulated using high-viscosity mineral base oils and advanced sulfur-phosphorus additive technology. It meets the requirements of API GL-5 and is specifically designed for hypoid gears and other gear systems operating under high-speed, high-torque, and shock-loading conditions. This oil ensures long-lasting protection, reliable gear performance, and extended service life in severe operating environments.
Applications
- Suitable for hypoid differentials, axles, and final drives in trucks, buses, construction, and agricultural machinery.
- Manual transmissions requiring high-performance GL-5 gear oil.
- Off-highway equipment operating under extreme load and temperature conditions.
- Not recommended for synchronized transmissions where GL-4 oil is specified.
Features & Benefits
- Extreme Pressure Protection: Provides outstanding EP performance for hypoid and heavily loaded gears.
- Thermal & Oxidation Stability: Resists degradation at high temperatures, reducing sludge and varnish formation.
- Long Component Life: Minimizes gear wear, pitting, and scuffing even under severe shock loads.
- Rust & Corrosion Inhibition: Offers excellent protection against corrosion and rust during service and storage.
- Anti-Foam Properties: Reduces foaming to maintain consistent oil film and gear lubrication.
- Seal Compatibility: Safe for use with common seals and gaskets in gear systems.
Performance Standards
- Hypoid gear differentials and axle systems where API GL-5 SAE 140 is required.
- Heavy-duty commercial and industrial vehicles operating in demanding conditions.
- Equipment exposed to high torque and load conditions such as mining and off-road operations.
