Purpose and Specifications

RAVENOL EPX 80W-90 GL-5 is a tough mineral gear oil built for manual transmissions, axle drives, and hypoid gears in cars, trucks, and work machines. Its 80W-90 viscosity flows smoothly in cold winter starts down to -20°C and stays thick under heavy loads up to 150°C, cutting noise and boosting efficiency even when oil gets very hot.

This oil meets API GL-5 standards plus approvals like ZF TE-ML 16B/17B/19B/21A, MAN 342 M1, and MB 235.0, protecting gears from extreme pressure wear. It offers outstanding corrosion resistance, no foaming, and seals that stay tight with zero leaks. Switch from any brand without flushing - just drain and fill.

When to Use / Replace?

• Use it in: Synchronized or non-synchronized manual gearboxes, differentials, and transfer cases calling for GL-5 80W-90 specs. Perfect year-round - no seasonal swaps needed.
• Replace every 60,000 km or 3 years under normal driving; cut to 30,000 km or 18 months for heavy towing, off-road, or severe conditions to prevent wear buildup.
• Shelf life: 5 years sealed - store cool and dry for best results.
