RAVENOL VSG 75W-90 Transmission Oil – Professional-Grade Protection for Manual Gearboxes and Differentials

Purpose and Specifications

RAVENOL VSG 75W-90 is a fully synthetic transmission oil engineered for manual gearboxes, differentials, and transfer cases in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and high-performance applications. This oil meets strict industry standards including API GL-4 and GL-5, making it compatible with major manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Ford, Volvo, Scania, MAN, DAF, Renault, and ZF transmissions.

The 75W-90 viscosity rating means the oil flows easily in cold conditions (down to approximately -40°C) while maintaining a protective film at high operating temperatures (up to 100°C and beyond). This balance ensures smooth gear shifts in winter and reliable protection during demanding summer driving.

Key Benefits:

• Wear Protection: Advanced synthetic formulation shields gears and bearings from friction damage, extending transmission life by thousands of kilometers
• Fuel Efficiency: Reduces internal friction, helping improve fuel economy even on short trips in cold weather
• Extended Oil Life: High additive reserves allow longer intervals between oil changes according to your vehicle manufacturer's schedule
• Corrosion and Rust Prevention: Protects metal components from moisture and oxidation, critical for vehicles in harsh climates
• Clean Operation: Outstanding dirt-carrying capacity keeps internal components clean, even after extended service intervals
• Thermal Stability: Resists thickening and deposit formation at high temperatures, maintaining consistent performance
• Leak Prevention: Excellent compatibility with seals and elastomers prevents leaks that could lead to costly repairs

When to Use / Replace?

Replace RAVENOL VSG 75W-90 according to your vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule, typically every 40,000 to 80,000 kilometers or annually, whichever comes first. Check your owner's manual for exact intervals, as some modern vehicles specify extended service periods. If you frequently tow heavy loads, drive in mountainous terrain, or operate in extreme temperatures, consider more frequent changes. Always drain and refill the entire transmission fluid capacity—do not top up partially.

Compatibility Note: This oil is approved for synchronized and non-synchronized manual transmissions. Verify your specific transmission type and manufacturer requirements before use. The 10-liter container is ideal for fleet maintenance, workshop use, or multiple vehicle servicing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use RAVENOL VSG 75W-90 in my automatic transmission?
A: No. This oil is formulated exclusively for manual transmissions and differentials. Automatic transmissions require different fluid types (ATF). Using the wrong fluid can cause shifting problems and transmission damage.

Q: How long does this oil last once opened?
A: Unopened containers remain stable for several years when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, use within 12 months to prevent oxidation and contamination.

Q: Is RAVENOL VSG 75W-90 suitable for my high-performance or sports car?
A: Yes. This oil is specifically designed for high-stress applications, including motorsport and performance vehicles. It provides maximum protection under extreme loads and temperatures, making it ideal for spirited driving and track use.
