Since most GL-5 gear oils for differentials are too slippery for manual transmissions, Red Line offers these products that ensure proper shifting while providing ultimate wear protectionΒ Appropriate coefficient of friction for most manual transmission synchronizers (other's synthetic gear oils are often too slippery for proper synchro engagement). Red Line offers lubricants to pinpoint nearly every transmission applicationΒ MTL, MT-85 and MT-90 are not for use in differentials with hypoid gears.
Details:
Red line 75W90NS High Performance Gear Oil is a fully-synthetic formula with ester base stocks, designed for use in manual transmissions and trans axles that require GL-5 lubricants. This non-slip formula is formulated for shear stability, less gear noise and consistent viscosity. Extreme pressure (EP) additives allow for use with hypoid gears, but the lack of friction modifiers causes less slipperiness for proper synchronizer operations. Friction modifier can be added or used to customize limited-slip differential operation.
