Red Line GL-5 Gear Oil

These products contain extreme pressure additives necessary for ultimate protection in road cars and racing vehicles, as well as friction modifiers (except NS) for proper limited-slip operation.

Features:

• Fully-synthetic formulas created from polyol ester base stocks, providing excellent lubrication under extreme conditions
• Ester/PAO base stocks and friction modifiers (except NS) add slipperiness to lower operating temperatures by reducing sliding friction in hypoid gears
• High viscosity index (VI) maintains relatively constant viscosity and film thickness across varying temperatures
• Superior shear stability and reduced oxidation compared to other synthetics and conventional gear oils
• Exceeds API GL-5 specifications
• Engineered to deliver maximum protection and improve differential efficiency for better mileage, longer drain intervals, and reduced wear
• Available viscosities:
  • 75W140:
    • Popular for cars and light trucks such as Ford Mustang and F-150, Toyota Tundra and Sequoia, Jeep Cherokee, and Dodge Ram
    • Contains additional friction modifiers suitable for clutch-type limited-slip differentials; most LSDs do not require extra friction modifiers
    • Not designed for most manual transmissions or transaxles with synchronizers, as extreme slipperiness may cause shifting issues
    • Recommended for API GL-5, GL-6, MT-1, MIL-L-2105E, and SAE J2360
  • 75W85:
    • Popular in many late-model BMW, Dodge, Ford, GM, Jeep, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Ram, and Toyota vehicles
    • Applications include differential oil, final drive oil, gear oil, and transfer case fluid
    • Contains additional friction modifiers suitable for clutch-type limited-slip differentials; most LSDs do not require extra modifiers
    • Not designed for most manual transmissions or transaxles with synchronizers due to extreme slipperiness
    • Formerly known as LightWeight Gear Oil
    • Also used in many Formula racing transaxles, including Hewland LD-200 and FTR sequential
    • Meets gear oil viscosity requirements of SAE 75W80, 75W, 80W, and 85W, as well as SAE 30 and SAE 10W30 motor oils
  • 80W140:
    • Recommended for API GL-5, GL-6, MT-1, MIL-L-2105E, and SAE J2360
    • Contains additional friction modifiers suitable for clutch-type limited-slip differentials; most LSDs do not require extra modifiers
    • Not designed for manual transmissions or transaxles with synchronizers, as slipperiness may cause shifting issues
    • Popular in stock car racing differentials and transmissions
  • 75W90:
    • Provides additional slipperiness to lower operating temperatures by reducing sliding friction in hypoid gears
    • Exceeds API GL-5 specifications
    • Engineered to provide the highest degree of protection and improvement of differential efficiency for better mileage, longer drain intervals, and less wear
