Description

77 Lubricants Autogear Oil SYN 75W-85 is a synthetic API GL-5 gear oil for the manual gearboxes of modern cars and light vans. The maker presents it as an oil that helps to save fuel.

It holds no official approvals; the maker states that it meets the requirements of MB 235.7, VW G 052 145, G 052 190 and G 055 190, and ZF TE-ML 18.

Typical data-sheet figures: kinematic viscosity 12.6 mm²/s at 100 °C and 80.2 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 158, pour point -60 °C, flash point above 201 °C.

Application

Manual gearboxes of modern cars and light vans for which an SAE 75W-85 GL-5 oil is prescribed.

Worth knowing

Five codes from this oil’s data sheet, MB 235.7, VW G 052 145, VW G 052 190, VW G 055 190 and ZF TE-ML 18, do not appear in any other oil of the Autogear Oil line. SYN 75W-90 and SYN HD 75W-90 have a different SAE grade and lists for truck axles and gearboxes, and MTF 75W-80 belongs to class GL-4 and claims a different set of passenger-car codes. The VW G codes with a number are part numbers of Volkswagen’s original oils, so the claim is one of equivalence to the factory oil; whether any oil in the catalogue holds an actual approval to MB 235.7 can be seen on that code’s page.

In the same list the data sheet also names Alfa Romeo, BMW, Fiat and Lancia, but without any specification number, so there is nothing to check such a line against in the gearbox manual; these names are not in the catalogue entry. How a claim that an oil “meets” something differs from a carmaker’s approval, and where to look for the approval record, is covered in the article on “approved”, “meets” and “recommended”.
