Description
Vehicle Compatibility
This product is an axle and differential gear oil selected by specification. Use only where the manufacturer specifies SAE 80W-90 and API GL-5. Confirm the required viscosity grade and GL rating in your owner’s manual before topping up or servicing.
- For axle drives and differentials requiring API GL-5
- Suitable for driveline units specifying SAE 80W-90 gear oil
- Commonly used for top-ups and maintenance where GL-5 80W-90 is explicitly required
If your vehicle has a limited-slip differential, confirm whether a dedicated LS fluid or additive is required. Do not substitute where GL-4 or an OEM-specific fluid is specified.
