Description

AGIP Novecento 80W-90 is a gear oil from the Novecento line for the manual gearboxes and differentials of classic cars. An extreme-pressure additive protects loaded gears and bearings, while anti-corrosion components guard parts against rust.

The oil is rated API GL-4; it holds no official carmaker approvals.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 14.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 103, pour point -30 °C, flash point 210 °C, density 895 kg/m³ and low-temperature viscosity 120,000 mPa·s at -26 °C.

Application

Manual gearboxes and differentials of classic cars that need an extreme-pressure oil rated API GL-4.

Worth knowing

Among Eni oils, Rotra HY 80W-90, for one, has the same API GL-4 in the 80W-90 grade. Besides GL-4 it states compliance with ZF TE-ML 02A, ZF TE-ML 16A, ZF TE-ML 17A and ZF TE-ML 19A, whereas Novecento 80W-90 states no ZF number; neither oil holds an official ZF approval. The figures given for the two oils match, right down to density and Brookfield viscosity.

Rotra 80W-90, without the letters HY in the name, lists only API GL-3, not GL-4. Rotra GL, Rotra MP and Rotra MP/S of the same viscosity grade carry API GL-5 and have no GL-4 in their listings, so formally they do not meet a GL-4 requirement. The article on what the figures on an oil data sheet actually say explains why matching typical figures guarantee nothing by themselves and how to read the line with the viscosity at -26 °C.
