Redline MTL - Manual Transmission Oil
Redline - 50204 - 106979
Product Description
Description
This 75W80 GL-4 Gear Oil (approximately SAE 5W30/10W30 engine oil viscosity) is designed for use in manual transmissions and transaxles. Provides excellent protection of gears and synchronizers and its balanced slipperiness provides a perfect coefficient of friction, allowing easier shifting.
- Safe for brass synchros, as it lacks the reactive sulfurs found in most GL-5 oils that cause damage
- Offers quicker shifts, perfect synchronizer coefficient of friction
- Eliminates notchy shifting, even when cold
- High performance gear protection and longer synchro life
- Satisfies the gear oil viscosity requirements of 75W, 80W, and motor oil viscosities of SAE 30, 10W30, and 5W30
- Recommended for GL-1, GL-3, and GL-4 applications as well as where most special synchromesh fluids are specified
- Not for use in differentials with hypoid gears
Redline MTL closely matches the viscosity and friction characteristics of the factory Volvo manual transmission gear oil for M56 and M66 manual transmissions, 31280771. It's a good aftermarket equivalent, with the high viscosity index giving great performance in cold weather.
