Description

Eni Rotra MP 85W-140 is a high-viscosity gear oil from the Rotra line for hypoid differentials and heavily loaded gears in vehicles, agricultural machinery and earth-moving equipment. It is intended for units that operate under severe shock loads.

It meets API GL-5 and MIL-L-2105D, and holds official ZF TE-ML 05A, 12S, 16D and 21A approvals. It meets the requirements of Volvo 1273.10 and ZF TE-ML 07A, 08 and 16C without formal approval.

Typical figures: viscosity 359 mm²/s at 40 °C and 25.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 99, pour point -18 °C, flash point 205 °C, density 915 kg/m³ and low-temperature viscosity 69,000 mPa·s at -12 °C.

Application

Hypoid differentials and heavily loaded gears in road vehicles and in agricultural and earth-moving machinery that need a GL-5 oil of the 85W-140 grade.

Worth knowing

The four ZF classes listed for this oil are official approvals, each for its own family of units. In ZF’s lists, 05 covers construction-machinery axles, 12 bus and lorry axles and wheel-hub reduction gears, 16 rail-vehicle gearboxes, and 21 tractor axles, combine harvester gearboxes and final drives; so ZF TE-ML 16D or ZF TE-ML 12S matters only for a unit to which that class is assigned. ZF TE-ML 07A, ZF TE-ML 08 and ZF TE-ML 16C appear in the data sheet only as quality levels the oil meets, and Volvo 1273.10 has no approval mark. ZF sets 07A by requirements alone, with no product list, and no longer keeps lists for 08 (steering gears): Bosch has taken them over.

Rotra GL 85W-140 shares this oil’s API GL-5 and MIL-L-2105D but has no ZF or Volvo code. At 100 °C this oil is thinner than the other Rotra 85W-140 oils, 25.5 mm²/s against 28.2, and both values lie within SAE grade 140. A ZF list number is read with its class letter, and current approvals are looked up in the public lists; both steps are explained in the article on what ZF TE-ML and other gear oil approvals mean.
