Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL 111132 Gear Power LV 70W is a premium manual transmission oil designed to protect gears in everyday cars and light trucks. This SAE 70W GL-4 fluid flows smoothly in cold starts down to -40°C for quick shifts, while staying strong up to 150°C to prevent wear during hot drives or towing. Sold in a 20-liter canister, it's perfect for workshops handling multiple services.

• Key Benefits: Reduces gear grinding for quieter, smoother shifting; resists breakdown for 100,000+ km service intervals; fights rust and foam for reliable performance year-round.
• Ideal for European manuals like VW, Peugeot, and PSA vehicles needing low-viscosity oil.

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in manual transmissions calling for SAE 70W GL-4 specs. Replace every 60,000-100,000 km or 3-5 years, or sooner if you notice hard shifting, grinding noises, or burnt smell. Shelf life is 5 years unopened in cool storage.

Pro Tip: Drain and refill during clutch jobs or at 50,000 km in severe conditions like stop-go city driving or heavy loads.

FAQ

Is MOTUL 70W safe for my daily driver? Yes, it protects standard manual gearboxes better than basic oils, extending life without special racing needs.

Can I mix it with other transmission fluids? Best to fully drain old fluid first, but it's compatible with most GL-4 oils for top-ups.

What if my car spec is 75W-80? Check your manual; this thinner 70W works great in cold climates but confirm compatibility to avoid issues.
