Geartex LS are high performance automotive gear lubricants formulated for use in limited slip differentials, and conform to API service designation GL-5.
Geartex LS is available in SAE 80W-90, SAE 85W-90 and SAE 85W-140 grades, and is formulated with a mineral oil base in combination with an effective additive package, formulated to contribute to reliable limited slip differential performance and protection.
Product Highlights
- Promotes smooth, noise free operation
- Aids protection against component scuffing and wear
- Designed to offer component wear protection during cold starts
- Contributes to protection throughout fluid lifetime
Customer Benefits
- High performance friction modifier additive promotes smooth, noise free operation in limited slip differentials
- Robust EP formulation helps prevent component scuffing and wear
- Low temperature fluidity aids rapid lubricant circulation and wear protection during cold starts
- Reliable shear stability promotes consistent viscosity and system protection throughout fluid lifetime
Applications
- Geartex LS is specifically designed for use in automotive limited slip differential axles. The special friction modifier additive included in the formulation is approved by ZF for use in their limited slip systems
- Geartex LS may also be used in equipment requiring a standard GL-5 gear lubricant: hypoid drive axles, steering systems, non-synchronized transmissions and transaxles.
- The friction characteristics of Geartex LS make it unsuitable for use in synchronized manual transmissions and transaxles, and it should not be used in these applications
Recommendations
- Operating temperatures of above +100C will lead to a significant reduction in the fluid service life. Peak operating temperatures should not exceed +120C
- Geartex LS is not recommended for use in wet brake systems. These applications generally require products with a higher degree of friction modification, and may also generate higher temperatures than Geartex LS can withstand. Use 1000 THF in these applications.
