Description

Fuchs TITAN GEAR MP 90 is a gear oil of viscosity grade SAE 90 for synchromesh and non-synchromesh manual gearboxes, auxiliary drives, axles and differentials in cars and commercial vehicles.

It meets API GL-4. It holds no official vehicle manufacturer approvals; without them, the maker recommends it where MB 235.1, MAN 341 Type E1, MAN 341 Type Z1, ZF TE-ML 02A, ZF TE-ML 16A, ZF TE-ML 17A or ZF TE-ML 19A is required.

Pack sizes: 20 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 approvals column for this oil is empty: MB 235.1, both MAN 341 types and four ZF classes are given by Fuchs as its own recommendations. Only the oil’s maker answers for such an entry, and it cannot be checked in the carmakers’ lists; the article on the difference between an approval and a recommendation has more. The ZF lists, meanwhile, cover different units: 02A is gearboxes for trucks and buses, 16A rail transport, 17A forklifts, 19A transfer cases of commercial vehicles.

ZF TE-ML 17A and DTFR 13B100 (the truck name of sheet MB 235.1) are approvals in TITAN GEAR MP 80, but they apply to that specific SAE 80 oil and do not extend to SAE 90. Because the viscosity grades differ, MP 80 is not a direct replacement either. HYP 90 and LS 90 have the same number 90, but they are GL-5, not GL-4; a gearbox that requires GL-4 takes such an oil only if its maker expressly allows it.
