Description

BP Energear SHX-M 75W-90 is a fully synthetic gear oil from the Energear line: a single oil for synchromesh manual gearboxes and for the axles and differentials of trucks, construction machinery and cars.

It is rated API GL-4, GL-5 and MT-1 and meets the SAE J2360 specification. Official approvals: MB 235.8, MAN 341 Type Z2, MAN 342 Type S1 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 12N, ZF TE-ML 16F, ZF TE-ML 17B, ZF TE-ML 19C and ZF TE-ML 21A. Eaton approves it for its manual gearboxes in Europe with a 300,000 km drain interval.

Application

Synchromesh manual gearboxes, axles and differentials in trucks, construction machinery and cars that call for a GL-4 or GL-5 oil.

Worth knowing

Its cold rating sets this oil apart within the line: the other Energear oils with a W are 80W or 85W, and for 75W SAE J306 places the 150,000 mPa·s limit at -40 °C, rather than at -26 °C as for 80W. Hot, 75W-90 and 80W-90 fall into the same grade 90.

It has the most codes in common with Energear HT 80W-90: GL-4, GL-5, MAN 341 Type Z2, Scania STO 1:0, and ZF TE-ML 02B, 05A, 12L and 21A. The remaining ZF classes do not match (12N, 16F, 17B and 19C here, against 12M, 16C, 17H and 19B on HT), and the letter after a list number denotes a class of its own; the same goes for MB 235.8 versus MB 235.0 and MAN 342 Type S1 versus Type M2. So HT is no substitute for a unit that calls for 17B, any more than SHX-M is for a 17H unit. Only three oils in the catalogue carry the MB 235.8 sheet, two of them as an approval. An oil’s place on the current ZF list is checked by its exact name, as described in the article on how to verify an oil approval.
