Description

77 Lubricants Autogear Oil EP 85W-140 is a mineral high-viscosity gear oil at the API GL-4 level. It is intended for the manual gearboxes and transaxles of cars, vans and trucks, as well as off-highway, mining and agricultural machinery, where the unit's maker prescribes an 85W-140 GL-4 oil.

It holds no official car-maker approvals; the specification list includes the military MIL-L-2105.

Typical data-sheet figures: kinematic viscosity 27.3 mm²/s at 100 °C and 376.5 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 98, pour point -21 °C, flash point above 201 °C.

Application

Manual gearboxes and transaxles of cars, vans, trucks, off-highway, mining and agricultural machinery where an SAE 85W-140 GL-4 oil is prescribed.

Worth knowing

Of the three 85W-140 oils in the Autogear Oil range, only this one is limited to API GL-4, with no GL-5 and no ZF or truck-maker codes. Its viscosity is almost the same as that of Autogear Oil MP 85W-140: 27.3 and 27.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, so these two cans are told apart mainly by the API category. A GL-5 oil goes into a gearbox specified for GL-4 only with direct permission from the gearbox maker; what the additives of an axle oil can do to the synchronisers is described in the article on GL-5 sulphur-phosphorus additives and synchronisers.

For hypoid axles API assigns GL-5, and at this viscosity it is claimed by MP 85W-140, together with ZF TE-ML 05A, 07A, 12E and 21A, and by TDL 85W-140, which lists GL-4 and GL-5 side by side with MT-1 and SAE J2360.
