Purpose and Specifications

LIQUI MOLY 1047 Transmission Oil 85W-90 is a mineral-based hypoid gear oil designed for manual transmissions, differentials, and axles in vehicles with proven, reliable technology. This 20-liter drum delivers smooth gear shifts, reduces friction and wear on metal parts, and keeps your transmission running quietly even under heavy loads.

It excels in high-pressure hypoid gears, absorbing heat to prevent overheating during long drives or towing, while binding dirt and metal particles to maintain a clean system. The 85W-90 viscosity flows easily in cold starts down to -20°C for quick protection, and stays thick up to 150°C for peak performance in hot conditions.

• Key Benefits: Cuts noise for smoother driving, extends transmission life, protects seals from leaks and rust.
• Volume: 20 liters in a sturdy drum for workshops or fleet use.
• Shelf Life: Up to 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.

When to Use / Replace?

Use LIQUI MOLY 1047 in older cars, trucks, and commercial vehicles with manual gearboxes specifying API GL-5 or similar approvals like MB 235.0, ZF TE-ML standards. Ideal for high-load applications like towing or off-road where standard oils fail.

Replace every 60,000 km or 3 years under normal driving; every 30,000 km or 18 months for severe conditions like frequent towing, extreme temps, or dusty roads. Check fluid level and condition every 10,000 km - dark, gritty oil means change it now to avoid costly repairs.
