Description

Fuchs TITAN GEAR HYP 90 is a hypoid gear oil for heavily loaded differentials in cars and commercial vehicles. Under the SAE J306 viscosity classification, the maker also gives it as 85W-90.

It meets API GL-5. Official approvals: DTFR 12B100, ZF TE-ML 16C, ZF TE-ML 17B, ZF TE-ML 19B and ZF TE-ML 21A. Without formal approval, the maker recommends it where MB 235.0, MAN 342 Type M1, VW TL 727, Opel 19 42 387, Ford SR-M2C9102-A, Volvo 97310, John Deere JDM J11E, ZF TE-ML 07 or ZF TE-ML 08 is required.

Pack sizes: 20, 60 and 205 litres.

Application

Heavily loaded hypoid differentials and axles in cars and commercial vehicles where an API GL-5 oil is specified.

Worth knowing

The name says SAE 90, and the Fuchs specification clarifies: SAE J306 85W-90. The hot viscosity of this grade lies within the same limits as that of 80W-90, but the cold limit is different: grade 85W reaches 150,000 mPa·s at -12 °C, grade 80W at -26 °C. Where an axle calls for 80W-90, this oil is not an automatic replacement; the table is given in the article on SAE J306 viscosity grades and GL categories.

What it shares with TITAN GEAR HYP LD 80W-90 is GL-5, while the axle codes differ: here DTFR 12B100 plus the recommendations MB 235.0 and MAN 342 Type M1, there DTFR 12B110, MB 235.20 and MAN 342 Type M3. In this pair only HYP 90 names VW TL 727, Opel 19 42 387 and Ford SR-M2C9102-A, and all three are Fuchs recommendations. In the maker’s materials MB 235.0 appears in two statuses: as an approval without DTFR 12B100, and as a recommendation alongside an approved DTFR 12B100. Such an entry is checked against the Daimler Truck list, not against the oil’s page.
