Description
Fuchs TITAN GEAR MP 80 is a mineral gear oil of viscosity grade SAE 80 for synchromesh and non-synchromesh manual gearboxes, auxiliary drives, axles and differentials in cars and commercial vehicles.
It meets API GL-4. Official approvals: MB 235.14, DTFR 13B100 and ZF TE-ML 17A. Without formal approval, the maker recommends it where MB 235.1, ZF TE-ML 08, VW TL 726, Ford M2C9008-A, BMW MTF 1, BMW 81 22 9 407 052 or BMW 81 22 9 407 053 is required.
Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 10 mm²/s at 100 °C and 92 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 96, pour point -30 °C, density 893 kg/m³. Pack sizes: 20, 60 and 205 litres.
Application
Synchromesh and non-synchromesh manual gearboxes, auxiliary drives, axles and differentials in cars and commercial vehicles where API GL-4 is specified.
Worth knowing
The list of units on the Fuchs page mentions axles and differentials without qualification, while the heading of the data sheet narrows the field: axles without a hypoid gear. So by the data sheet a hypoid axle is not among the uses of this oil, even though API describes GL-4 for hypoid gears in moderate conditions too; the limits of the categories are covered in more detail in the article on choosing between GL-4 and GL-5. The data sheet calls it compatible with ordinary branded gear oils but advises against mixing and says to drain the previous oil completely before switching to it.
TITAN GEAR MP 90 has the same GL-4 but does not replace this oil. The typical 10 mm²/s at 100 °C corresponds to SAE 80 (8.5-11.0 mm²/s), whereas SAE 90 under SAE J306 starts at 13.5 mm²/s. The codes differ too: of the two oils, only MP 80 has MB 235.14 and DTFR 13B100, and ZF TE-ML 17A, approved here under number ZF000654, is for MP 90 merely a Fuchs recommendation.
