Description

BP Energear HT 80W-90 is a universal Energear gear oil: one oil for manual gearboxes, synchromesh units included, and hypoid axles and final drives. The maker claims longer drain intervals than for conventional gear oils.

Rated API GL-4 and GL-5, it holds official approvals MB 235.0, MAN 341 Type Z2, MAN 342 Type M2 and Scania STO 1:0. The maker states compliance with ZF TE-ML 02B, ZF TE-ML 05A, ZF TE-ML 12L, ZF TE-ML 12M, ZF TE-ML 16C, ZF TE-ML 17H, ZF TE-ML 19B and ZF TE-ML 21A. It meets Hino's requirements for manual gearboxes and differentials without formal approval.

Typical figures: 17 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 105, pour point below -24 °C.

Application

Manual gearboxes, including synchromesh units, hypoid axles and final drives in trucks, cars, agricultural and construction machinery.

Worth knowing

The twelve codes on this oil’s data sheet relate to different units. MAN 341 Type Z2 is given to manual gearbox oils, MAN 342 Type M2 and MB 235.0 belong to drive axles, Scania STO 1:0 is now classed with axles as well, and ZF TE-ML 12L and 12M are bus and truck axle classes. The Mercedes-Benz manual gearbox sheet, MB 235.1, is held in the Energear line only by Energear EP 80W, which is a different SAE grade. A table of MAN, Mercedes-Benz and Scania gearbox and axle codes can be found in the article on ZF TE-ML, MAN and Scania approvals.

The ZF TE-ML 02 list attaches several conditions to class 02B that matter particularly for an 80W-90. In temperate climates, ZF notes, a viscosity above SAE 80W makes shifting worse, and starting up with an 80W-90 of this class is allowed only at a sump temperature of -20 °C or above. For TraXon gearboxes and those with an Intarder, AS Tronic among them, only classes 02E and 02L are approved for service fills. In long-haul use a 02B oil is changed every 180,000 km or every year, whichever comes first.
