Description
AGIP Novecento 85W-140 is a heavy-grade gear oil from the Novecento line for the manual gearboxes and axles of classic cars. Its extreme-pressure film withstands shock loads in hypoid and bevel gears.
The oil is rated API GL-5; it holds no official carmaker approvals.
Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 28.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 100, pour point -15 °C, flash point 215 °C, density 910 kg/m³ and low-temperature viscosity 120,000 mPa·s at -12 °C.
Application
Manual gearboxes and axles of classic cars with hypoid or bevel gearing.
Worth knowing
The Novecento 85W-140 data sheet gives no ZF numbers or military specifications: the only code in it is API GL-5. For an axle or gearbox whose documentation names such a number, Eni has other products of the same viscosity grade. Rotra GL 85W-140 adds a MIL-L-2105D compliance claim to GL-5, and Rotra MP 85W-140 is approved to ZF TE-ML 05A, ZF TE-ML 12S, ZF TE-ML 16D and ZF TE-ML 21A. The similarly named Rotra 85W-140 has only API GL-3, so it is not suitable where GL-5 is specified.
The low-temperature figures are best read against the other Novecento oils. The 85W-140 data sheet gives a Brookfield viscosity of 120,000 mPa·s at -12 °C, while the Novecento 80W-90 data sheet gives the same value at -26 °C; the pour point is -15 °C, against -30 °C for Novecento 80W-90 and Novecento 90. The cold limit of the 85W grade and the reasons why GL-5 does not always replace GL-4 are covered in the article on GL-4, GL-5 and gear oil viscosity grades.
