Hypoid Gear Oil (GL5) SAE 85W90 is a specialised lubricant designed for hypoid gearsets typically found in automotive differentials and axle assemblies. This oil’s SAE 85W90 viscosity rating indicates its performance in maintaining consistent lubrication under a range of temperatures and operating conditions. The GL5 classification refers to its suitability for use in hypoid gears where high pressure and sliding contact occur.
The primary function of this oil is to reduce friction and wear between the mating gears, which helps extend the service life of the gear components and maintain smooth, quiet operation. It is particularly important to compare the viscosity and GL rating on your old oil or service manual to confirm compatibility, as using the incorrect oil can impact gear performance and longevity.
This product is listed under the oil category with SKU BB-397813 and is suitable wherever a hypoid gear oil with these specifications is required. When selecting this part, ensure it matches your vehicle’s differential or gearbox oil requirements as specified by the manufacturer.
