Purpose and Specifications

VAICO V60-0314 is a full synthetic manual transmission oil designed to protect and lubricate the gears and moving parts inside manual gearboxes. This oil meets both API GL-4 and GL-5 standards, meaning it handles both lightly loaded and heavily loaded gear systems with equal reliability.

The 75W-80 viscosity grade means the oil flows smoothly when your engine is cold (the 75W part) and maintains proper thickness when the transmission heats up during driving (the 80 part). This balance ensures smooth gear shifts in winter and summer conditions.

• Capacity: 5 liters per canister
• Type: Full synthetic oil (longer-lasting than mineral oils)
• Color: Yellow
• Packing: Metal canister
• Made in Germany to OEM quality standards

When to Use / Replace?

Replace your transmission oil every 80,000 kilometers or 5 years, whichever comes first. If you drive in severe conditions—frequent city driving, towing, or extreme temperatures—consider changing it sooner.

This oil is compatible with manual transmissions in BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Citroën, Peugeot, MAN, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, and Nissan vehicles. Always check your vehicle's owner manual to confirm the correct specification before purchasing.

The synthetic formula provides better protection against wear, cleaner engine operation, and improved reliability compared to conventional oils, making it ideal for both everyday driving and demanding conditions.
