Purpose and Specifications

RAVENOL EPX SAE 90 GL-5 1L is a tough mineral-based gear oil built for manual transmissions, hypoid gearboxes, axle drives, and transfer cases in cars, trucks, and work machines. It meets top specs like API GL-5, ZF TE-ML 05A/16C/17B/19B/21A, MB 235.0, MAN 342 M1, and Ford SQ-M2C 9002-AA, so it handles high-pressure hypoid gears without fail.

This oil delivers practical wins: flows smoothly in cold starts down to -20°C for easy shifting in winter, stays thick up to 150°C under heavy loads for quiet operation and max efficiency, cuts wear on gears during short trips or full throttle, prevents rust and sludge buildup, and won't leak past seals. No need to flush when switching from other brands - just drain and pour.

When to Use / Replace?

Use it year-round in any weather to skip seasonal oil swaps. Ideal for daily drivers, off-road rigs, or heavy-duty machines pushing gears hard. Replace every 60,000-100,000 km or 3-5 years, or sooner if towing heavy loads or in dusty/hot conditions over 40°C. Shelf life is 5 years unopened in cool storage.
