Description

77 Lubricants Autogear Oil TX 75W-80 is a synthetic API GL-4 gear oil for manual gearboxes, designed for extended drain intervals. It also suits units with modern carbon-coated synchronisers.

It holds no official approvals; the maker states that it meets the requirements of ZF TE-ML 01L, 02L, 08, 13, 16K and 24A, MAN 341 Type E3 and MAN 341 Type Z4, Volvo 97305, Renault B0032/2 Annex 3, and DAF, Iveco and Eaton Europe specifications. Most of these requirements apply to truck gearboxes.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 9.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 157, pour point -42 °C. The maker also claims fuel savings.

Application

Manual gearboxes in cars and commercial vehicles, including those with carbon-coated synchronisers; most of the listed specifications cover ZF, MAN, Volvo and Eaton truck gearboxes.

Worth knowing

The six ZF codes in the data sheet belong to different lists. In ZF’s classification, TE-ML 01 covers truck manual gearboxes, 02 covers manual and automated gearboxes of trucks, buses and light commercial vehicles, 16 covers rail-transport gearboxes, and list 08, for steering gears, has been maintained since 2015 by Bosch rather than ZF. The letter after the number sets the class: for gearboxes under TE-ML 02, ZF gives class 02L an interval of 360,000 km or two years on long-haul work, twice as long as for 02B.

The data sheet gives all these codes after “exceeds”, that is, as a statement by 77 Lubricants. Of the six oils on the ZF TE-ML 02L page, ZF approval is recorded for four, while for this oil the class is only claimed. Why the change interval depends on the class and how to find an oil in the current ZF list is described in the article on ZF TE-ML, MAN 341 and Volvo codes. IVECO, DAF and Eaton Europe are mentioned in the data sheet with no specification numbers at all.
