Purpose and Specifications

EUROLUB GEAR ECO 75W-80 is a high-performance manual transmission oil engineered for modern passenger car transmissions. This fuel-efficient formula reduces cold viscosity, meaning it flows smoothly even in freezing conditions, allowing your transmission to shift smoothly without grinding or resistance when you start your car in winter.

The oil is designed to lower fuel consumption while maintaining full wear protection for transmission gears and synchronizers. It meets strict international standards including API GL-4 and GL-5, ensuring compatibility with most European vehicles including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, Fiat, PSA (Peugeot/Citroën), and Toyota models.

When to Use and Replace

Use this oil in:

• Manual transmissions in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
• Vehicles operating in cold climates where smooth cold-start shifting is critical
• Cars where fuel economy is a priority

Replacement intervals: Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service schedule, typically every 60,000 to 100,000 km or annually, whichever comes first. Check your owner's manual for exact intervals, as some modern transmissions may have extended drain intervals up to 150,000 km.

Operating temperature range: This oil performs reliably from -45°C (cold start) to +220°C (peak operating conditions), making it suitable for year-round use in most climates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this oil improve my fuel economy?
A: Yes. The reduced viscosity formula creates less internal friction in your transmission, which can improve fuel efficiency by 2-5% compared to heavier oils, depending on your driving habits and vehicle type.

Q: Can I use this in my older manual transmission?
A: Check your vehicle's manual first. This oil is optimized for modern transmissions with synchronizers. Older vehicles may require different specifications. EUROLUB GEAR ECO is compatible with most European brands from the 1990s onward.

Q: How long does an unopened bottle last?
A: Properly stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, unopened transmission oil typically remains usable for 3-5 years. Once opened, use within the same service interval as your transmission fluid change.
