Description

Motul GEAR POWER FE 75W is a fully synthetic, fuel-saving gear oil from the Gear Power line. Its low viscosity reduces internal drag in the gearbox; it is intended for modern manual gearboxes, transaxles and transfer boxes without a limited-slip differential.

It is rated API GL-4. It holds no official approvals but meets the requirements of BMW MTF LT-3, Fiat 9.55550-MZ2, Ford WSS-M2C200-D2, WSS-M2C200-D3 and WSS-M2C200-E1, Honda MTF III, JWS 2271, MB 235.10, Nissan LV MT-1 and PSA B71 2310.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 5.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 134, pour point -45 °C, flash point 228 °C. Available in 1 and 20 litres. Use it only where the manufacturer specifies a 75W FE oil.

Application

Modern manual gearboxes, transaxles and transfer boxes without a limited-slip differential, including those in Honda, Nissan, Renault, Suzuki, Toyota and VW Group cars.

Worth knowing

Of the carmaker codes, this oil and the neighbouring Motul GEAR POWER 75W-80 share only Honda MTF III. Of the three oils in the range, only GEAR POWER FE 75W holds BMW MTF LT-3, MB 235.10, Nissan LV MT-1, PSA B71 2310 and Ford WSS-M2C200-D2, and for Motul GEAR POWER LV 70W the catalogue lists no carmaker codes at all. All three have API GL-4, so the deciding factor is the exact code in the gearbox documentation, not the class.

The data sheet separately warns that some manual gearboxes are not designed for such a low-viscosity oil. According to the maker, the oil keeps its 75W viscosity grade even after the 20-hour KRL shear test required by SAE J306. What GL-4 and the SAE J306 grades mean on a can of gear oil is explained in the article on GL-4, GL-5 and gear oil viscosity.
