Description

Mobilube S 80W-90 is a gear oil for gearboxes and axles in cars, trucks, buses and vans. The oil maker claims it protects copper-alloy synchronisers.

It is recommended for API GL-4 and meets API GL-5 and MT-1. Official approvals: MAN 341 Type Z2, MAN 342 Type M2, ZF TE-ML 02B, ZF TE-ML 05A, ZF TE-ML 12L, ZF TE-ML 12M, ZF TE-ML 16B, ZF TE-ML 19B and ZF TE-ML 21A. Meets without formal approval: Bosch TE-ML 08, Isuzu axle oil, Isuzu large manual transmission oil, MAN 341 Type E2, Meritor O-76-D, MIL-PRF-2105E, Scania STO 1:0, Scania STO 1:1 G, ZF TE-ML 07A and ZF TE-ML 08.

Viscosity 15 mm²/s at 100 °C, pour point -30 °C.

Application

Heavily loaded transmissions in cars, trucks, buses and vans, both new and high-mileage, where API GL-4 or GL-5 performance is required.

Worth knowing

The list in the data sheet is split into three groups, and only the first is backed by unit manufacturers. It holds the MAN 341 Type Z2 and MAN 342 Type M2 approvals and seven ZF TE-ML codes. API GL-4, MAN 341 Type E2, Meritor O-76-D, MIL-PRF-2105E and ZF TE-ML 08 are given as a recommendation, while the claimed matches to requirements are API GL-5, API MT-1, Scania STO 1:0 and Scania STO 1:1 G. So Type Z2 and Type E2 have different status within the same MAN 341: an approval is backed by the unit manufacturer, a recommendation only by the oil maker.

The approvals cover both gearboxes (MAN 341 Type Z2, ZF TE-ML 02B) and axles (MAN 342 Type M2, ZF TE-ML 12L), and of all the Mobil 80W-90 oils in the catalogue only this one has MAN 341 Type Z2 and ZF TE-ML 02B. It does not cover everything: MB 235.23, DTFR 12B110 and MAN 342 Type M3 are in Mobilube HD-A Plus 80W-90, while Mack GO-J, Volvo 97321 and SAE J2360 are in Mobilube HD Plus 80W-90. A double GL-4/GL-5 marking does not stand in for a requirement for such a code.
