Description

Mobil Delvac Modern Axle Oil 80W-90 Limited Slip is a gear oil designed specifically for limited-slip differentials, and also suited to axles and final drives in cars, trucks, buses and off-highway machinery.

Official approvals: ZF TE-ML 05N and ZF TE-ML 21N. The oil is rated API GL-5.

Typical figures: 13.92 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 116, pour point -39 °C, flash point 200 °C.

Application

Limited-slip differentials, axles and final drives in passenger cars, light and heavy trucks, buses, vans and off-highway machinery.

Worth knowing

ZF TE-ML 05C and 21C codes are common on LS oils, while 05N and 21N are found on this one oil alone in the whole catalogue. In its lists ZF describes 05C and 05N in the same way: a gear oil with additives for limited-slip differentials, the same viscosity grades, and in the fill table they appear together with a slash, “05C / 05N”. What the list number and the letter after it mean is explained in the article on ZF TE-ML codes.

For axles with hypoid gearing the table of list TE-ML 05 has two columns. Without wet brakes and multi-plate limited-slip differentials ZF names classes 05A, 05C and 05N, and with them only 05C and 05N. So Mobilube HD-A Plus 80W-90 and Mobilube S 80W-90, despite the same viscosity and GL-5, do not replace this oil by code in such a unit: they carry 05A. MAN 342 Type M3 and DTFR 12B110 are on HD-A Plus and absent here. The codes of this oil belong to the lists for construction machinery axles (05) and tractor axles and final drives (21), so they do not satisfy the ZF TE-ML 12 requirement for bus and truck axles.
