Description

Eni Rotra LSX 75W-90 is a fully synthetic oil for manual gearboxes and differentials, and for marine outboard and sterndrive gearcases. Drain intervals can be extended.

The oil is rated API GL-4, GL-5 and MT-1, meets SAE J2360 and holds official MAN 341 Type GA1, MAN 341 Type Z2, MAN 342 Type S1 and ZF TE-ML 02B, 05A, 12L, 12N, 16F, 17B, 19C and 21A approvals. It meets the level of Volvo 97312, Scania STO 1:1 G, Scania STO 2:0 A FS, Mack GO-J and DTFR 12B140 without formal approval.

Figures: 16 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 160, pour point -48 °C, flash point 200 °C, density 865 kg/m³.

Application

Manual gearboxes and differentials in modern vehicles that need a GL-4 or GL-5 oil, as well as outboard and sterndrive boat gearcases.

Worth knowing

The closest oil to this one by code list is Eni Rotra MP 75W-90: the same API GL-4, GL-5 and MT-1, and eight approved ZF TE-ML classes, of which one differs, 16F here against 16B in the MP. The rest of the difference lies in the lorry codes. Of the pair, only the LSX holds MAN 341 Type GA1 and MAN 342 Type S1 approvals, and MAN 341 Type Z2 is approved here, whereas for the MP it is only a statement of compliance. Volvo 97312, Mack GO-J and DTFR 12B140 are claimed for the LSX alone, while MAN 342 Type M3 and Scania STO 1:0 are claimed for the MP alone.

The LSX data sheet marks both Scania codes “Feedback” rather than “Approved”, so the catalogue records them as compliance. Scania separates axle oils (letter A) from gearbox oils (letter G), so these two codes concern different units: STO 1:1 G is for gearboxes, STO 2:0 A FS for drive axles. How to read the MAN, Volvo and Scania lorry codes alongside the ZF lists is explained in the article on ZF TE-ML approvals.
