Geartex EP-B 85W-90 is a proven performance automotive gear lubricant suitable for API GL-5 applications. This proven gear lubricant is formulated with a precise combination of quality mineral base oils and additives to provide robust performance throughout the fluids service life.
Customer Benefits
- Reliable shear stability ensures consistent viscosity throughout fluid service life
- Low temperature fluidity provides superior wear protection over standard SAE 90 during cold starts
- Robust EP performance reduces gear scuffing and wear
- Rust protection optimises component service life
- Oxidation resistance prevents oil thickening throughout oil lifetime
- Wide ranging elastomer compatibility protects seals and prevents fluid loss
- Foam suppression optimises lubrication performance
Applications
- Geartex EP-B 85W-90 is designed for use in automotive hypoid drive axles, steering systems, non-synchronized transmissions and transaxles which require a fluid with API GL-5 performance (equivalent to US Military specification MIL-L-2105B)
- The friction characteristics of Geartex EP-B 85W-90 make it unsuitable for use in most synchronized manual transmissions
- Operating temperatures of above 100AC will lead to a significant reduction in the fluid service life. Peak operating temperatures should not exceed 120AC.
