Description

Liqui Moly Gear Oil (GL4) SAE 80W is a mineral gear oil for manual gearboxes and final drives operating under normal to high load.

It carries API GL-4 and holds official approvals MIL-L-2105, ZF TE-ML 17A (approval number ZF000694) and DTFR 13B100. It meets the requirements of MB 235.1, MAN 341 Type E1 and MAN 341 Type Z2 without official approval.

Typical figures: 11.4 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 110, pour point -27 °C. Available in 0.5, 1, 20, 60 and 205 litre packs. It is not a GL-5 hypoid oil.

Application

Manual gearboxes and final drives under normal to high load in vehicles with conventional transmission design.

Worth knowing

Hardly anything separates this oil from Hypoid Gear Oil (GL5) SAE 80W in viscosity at 100 °C (11.4 and 11.1 mm²/s) or pour point (-27 °C in both). The difference lies in the codes: API GL-4, MAN 341 Type E1, MAN 341 Type Z2 and ZF TE-ML 17A against API GL-5, MAN 342 Type M1 and ZF TE-ML 17B for the hypoid oil. The MAN 341 family concerns synchronised gearboxes, MAN 342 drive axles and final drives, as covered in more detail in the article what ZF TE-ML, MAN 341 and MB 236 approvals mean. The MIL-L-2105 entry also has to be read to the end: the hypoid oil has a letter, MIL-L-2105D, while here there is none.

Two truck codes have different status even within one data sheet. DTFR 13B100, the new name of the MB 235.1 sheet, is in the “Specifications / Approvals” block next to the number ZF000694, while Liqui Moly gives MB 235.1 itself only as a recommendation. Among the brand’s oils in the catalogue, DTFR 13B100 appears only here; Gear Oil (GL4) SAE 85W-90 does not have this code, but adds ZF TE-ML 16A and 19A.
