Finol Gear EP Oil 80W/90 GL-5 – Extreme Pressure Gear Oil
Finol Gear EP Oil 80W/90 GL-5 is a mineral-based extreme pressure gear lubricant developed for highly loaded gears operating in demanding automotive and industrial environments. Formulated for applications requiring API GL-5 performance, it helps protect gear components against wear and corrosion while supporting reliable operation under heavy loads.
Its SAE 80W-90 viscosity grade makes it suitable for compatible axles, final drives, transfer cases and planetary gearboxes where this specification is recommended. The Finol GL-5 gear oil range is also recommended for certain ZF and MAN hypoid gear applications when standard drain intervals are followed and the equipment manufacturer's requirements are met.
Key Features and Benefits

Applications
Finol Gear EP Oil 80W/90 GL-5 is intended for highly loaded gear systems requiring an API GL-5 lubricant, including:
-
Hypoid gear axles.
-
Vehicle axles and differentials where GL-5 is specified.
-
Final drives.
-
Transfer cases.
-
Planetary gearboxes requiring the appropriate GL-5 lubricant.
-
Selected ZF and MAN hypoid gear applications, subject to the manufacturer's lubricant requirements.
-
Compatible commercial vehicle and industrial drivetrain systems.
Important compatibility note: Always check the equipment manufacturer's handbook for the required viscosity grade, API performance level and any specific OEM approval. GL-5 gear oil is not automatically suitable for every manual gearbox, particularly those containing synchronisers or components requiring a different lubricant specification.
