Gear oil that meets the API GL-5 classification is typically comparable to oils that adhere to the same performance standards, such as those labeled with SAE J2360 or ISO 12925-1. Additionally, synthetic gear oils that specify GL-5 performance can also be used as alternatives. It's important to ensure that the oil is suitable for the specific application, particularly in high-load and high-temperature environments. Always check manufacturer recommendations for compatibility and performance requirements.
1986 to 1996 Manual Transmission and Transfer case use API GL4 or GL4 and GL5 80W90 or 75W90. Differentials use API GL-5 SAE 75W-90 or 80W-90 lubricant. Do not put a GL5 gear oil in the transmission unless it says GL4 and GL5. GL5 will attack the syncros.
75-90 GL5 refers to a specific viscosity and gear oil classification, and it can be either synthetic or conventional. Many manufacturers produce synthetic versions of 75W-90 GL5 gear oil, which typically offer better performance, stability, and protection under extreme conditions compared to conventional oils. To determine if a specific product is synthetic, you should check the label or product specifications.
GL5 80/90 gear lube
Yes, You can. But quality of the mixture will be equal to the quality of the GL4 gear oil.
GL5 75W90 or 80W90 gear oil.
vauhall gear oil gl4 NOT gl5
75w-90 GL5 gear oil
80w90 GL3 or GL4 gear oil.DO NOT USE GL5 Gear oil as this will eat away at the brass syncronizers in the transmission.
Yes, you can use GL5 gear oil in a vehicle that specifies GL4, but it's important to consider compatibility with the transmission or differential. GL5 oil contains additives that can be corrosive to brass and bronze components, which are often found in GL4 applications. If the vehicle has no such components, GL5 may be suitable, but it's best to consult the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure proper lubrication and avoid potential damage.
