Description
BP Energear Axle 80W-90 is a gear oil from the Energear line for hypoid gears: differentials, drive axles and transaxles in which the gears run under heavy load.
It is rated API GL-5 and carries no official carmaker approvals.
Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 14.2 mm²/s at 100 °C and 140 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 99, pour point -33 °C, density 880 kg/m³. Brookfield viscosity at -26 °C does not exceed 150,000 mPa·s.
Application
Differentials, drive axles and transaxles with hypoid gears that call for an API GL-5 oil.
Worth knowing
It is not the category or the SAE grade that separates this oil from Energear HT 80W-90, since both are GL-5 and 80W-90, but the makers’ axle codes. HT carries MB 235.0, MAN 342 Type M2 and Scania STO 1:0 approvals and declared compliance with ZF TE-ML classes 05A, 12L and 12M, whereas this oil’s entry lists no official approvals. It therefore meets a requirement stated simply as API GL-5 and SAE 80W-90, but a truck or bus axle specified with one of those codes needs HT. Plain Energear 80W-90 has almost the same viscosity, 13.9 mm²/s at 100 °C against 14.2 mm²/s here, but claims only GL-4.
The data sheet gives no measured value on its cold-viscosity line, only that the Brookfield viscosity at -26 °C does not exceed 150,000 mPa·s, which is exactly the 80W limit in SAE J306. The article on GL-4 and GL-5 in gearboxes and axles explains why an axle’s hypoid gears need GL-5 specifically.
