Description

Elf Tranself Type B 80W-90 is a Tranself gear oil for manual gearboxes, hypoid axles and power-steering systems. It is intended for cars, trucks, and agricultural and construction machinery.

It meets API GL-5 and holds official approvals MAN 342 Type M2 and ZF TE-ML 05A, ZF TE-ML 12E, ZF TE-ML 16B, ZF TE-ML 17B, ZF TE-ML 19B and ZF TE-ML 21A. It meets the requirements of MAN 342 Type M1 and Volvo 97305 without formal approval. Its extreme-pressure performance is designed for hypoid gearing, and the oil film is shear-stable.

Typical figures: viscosity 15 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 102, pour point -27 °C. Packs from 1 to 208 litres.

Application

Manual gearboxes, hypoid axles and power-steering systems in cars, trucks, and agricultural and construction machinery.

Worth knowing

The same Type B in the name does not mean a shared set of codes. Tranself Type B 75W-80, listed with API GL-4, GL-4 Plus and PSA B71 2330, has no code in common with this oil. Type B 85W-140 is closer: both have API GL-5 and ZF TE-ML 05A and 21A, but in lists 12 and 16 it has classes 12S and 16D instead of 12E and 16B, and at 100 °C it gives 25 mm²/s instead of 15 mm²/s.

The data sheet names not only hypoid axles but also manual gearboxes, yet the entry shows only GL-5. An oil like this goes into a gearbox specified for GL-4 only with the gearbox maker’s express permission; the reason is explained in the article on the difference between GL-4 and GL-5. EP 80W-90 and Universal FE claim GL-4 at the same 80W-90 grade; the latter is approved to MAN 342 Type M2, as is this oil.
