Description

Motul MOTYLGEAR 75W-80 is a Technosynthese synthetic gear oil with extreme-pressure additives. It is intended for manual gearboxes, transaxles and transfer boxes without a limited-slip differential, including those with a stiff gear change.

The oil meets API GL-4 and GL-5 and the military specification MIL-L-2105D; no car-maker approvals are listed.

It stays in grade after the 20-hour KRL shear test. Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 10.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 164, pour point -51 °C, flash point 208 °C. Available in 1 to 208 litres.

The oil is not intended for limited-slip differentials.

Application

Manual gearboxes, transaxles and transfer boxes without a limited-slip differential, including stiff-shifting gearboxes and Peugeot, Citroen and Renault units.

Worth knowing

The catalogue has two Motul 75W-80 oils, and all they share is the API GL-4 class. GEAR POWER 75W-80 adds compliance with nine codes, among them BMW MTF LT-2, Honda MTF III, Nissan MT-XZ and PSA B71 2330. MOTYLGEAR instead states GL-5 and MIL-L-2105D and has no carmaker codes. Its data sheet specially recommends the oil for Peugeot, Citroen and Renault gearboxes but names no specification, so PSA B71 2330 is stated for only one of these two oils, GEAR POWER. In both cases these are statements by the oil maker; who stands behind the word “meets” and how it differs from a carmaker approval is summarised in the table of markings in the article on checking an approval.

In viscosity the pair is close: 10.1 and 10.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, both values within SAE J306 grade 80 (8.5 to 11.0 mm²/s), pour point -51 °C in both. At 40 °C the gap is wider: 57.1 mm²/s for MOTYLGEAR against 69.4 mm²/s for GEAR POWER; flash point 208 against 234 °C.
