Description

77 Lubricants Autogear Oil EP 80W-90 is a mineral API GL-4 gear oil for manual gearboxes and for transmissions in which the gearbox and final drive share a casing.

It holds no official approvals; the maker states that it meets the requirements of BW-TL 9150-0010. Its list of specifications also includes the military MIL-L-2105.

Its applications cover cars, vans and trucks as well as off-road, mining and agricultural machinery for which an oil of this viscosity grade is specified.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 14.4 mm²/s at 100 °C and 127.7 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 113, pour point -33 °C, flash point above 201 °C.

Application

Manual gearboxes and transaxles in cars, vans and trucks, as well as off-road, mining and agricultural machinery that calls for an SAE 80W-90 GL-4 oil.

Worth knowing

Of the four 80W-90 oils in the Autogear Oil range, only EP has API category GL-4 without GL-5. MP 80W-90 and LS 80W-90 claim GL-5 together with the axle code MAN 342 Type M2 and several ZF TE-ML classes, and neither lists GL-4. XP 80W-90 combines GL-4, GL-5 and MT-1 with codes for truck gearboxes, including MAN 341 Type Z2 and ZF TE-ML 02B: where a gearbox is specified with such a code, among these four oils the one that carries it is XP 80W-90, not EP. EP’s own list is short: besides GL-4, only MIL-L-2105 and BW-TL 9150-0010.

Beyond the typical figures, the EP data sheet also gives the low-temperature Brookfield viscosity: 61,000 mPa·s at -26 °C, well below the 150,000 mPa·s limit that SAE J306 sets for grade 80W. Why a “higher” GL-5 is not an automatic substitute for GL-4 in a gearbox with synchronisers is explained in the article on API categories for the gearbox and the axle.
