Description

77 Lubricants Autogear Oil TDL 85W-140 is a mineral oil made with solvent-refined base oil for the whole driveline of light and heavy commercial vehicles: drive axles and manual gearboxes. It is rated API GL-4, GL-5 and MT-1.

It holds no official approvals; the maker states that it meets the requirements of Mack GO-J, Meritor O-76-A and O-94, Scania STO 1:0, Bosch TE-ML 08 and ZF TE-ML 05A, 07A, 12E, 16D and 21A. MIL-PRF-2105D, MIL-PRF-2105E and SAE J2360 are also listed.

Typical figures: 28.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 97, pour point -12 °C, flash point 211 °C.

Application

Drive axles and manual gearboxes of light and heavy commercial vehicles where SAE 85W-140 is prescribed.

Worth knowing

The data sheet says less about this oil’s cold behaviour than those of its stablemates in the range do. For Brookfield viscosity at -12 °C, the temperature SAE J306 sets for grade 85W, TDL 85W-140 is given only an upper bound: below 100,000 mPa·s against the limit of 150,000. For MP 85W-140 and EP 85W-140 the data sheets give specific figures, 69,000 and 52,800 mPa·s, and the TDL pour point equals the temperature of this test: -12 °C. Why the pour point line is misleading and what Brookfield viscosity shows in its place is covered in the article on how to read an oil data sheet.

In the truck section of the list, SAE J2360 stands next to MIL-PRF-2105E, which that standard replaced; oils approved to J2360 are entered in the list kept by the Lubricant Review Institute. The data sheet also promises longer synchroniser life, but the MT-1 class does not back that up: API assigns it to non-synchronised gearboxes of trucks and buses, and it does not cover the requirements of synchronised car gearboxes.
