Worth knowing
In the data sheet line reserved for specifications and original part numbers there is a single word: Tesla. There is no model, no component and no fluid name, and the description of use says only that this type of lubricant is used in various models of the make. The Model 3 service manual is more specific: its fluid table, by drive unit type and model year, names ATF-9, EDF2 or KAF1 with part numbers, and it leaves the use of other fluids not approved by Tesla at the repairer’s risk and outside the warranty. These documents do not show whether an ISO VG 150 oil matches those fluids. The data sheet entry is the oil maker’s own recommendation, and who is responsible for such wording is covered separately.
A shared line name does not make the cans interchangeable either. Top Tec Gear EV 520 has 19.3 mm²/s at 40 °C against 156.3 here, and 4.5 against 21.3 at 100 °C, and its data sheet’s recommendations list Cadillac, Ford and Mazda.
