MT-90 75W90 GL-4 Gear Oil
- 75W90 GL-4 gear oil (similar to SAE 5W40/10W40 engine oil viscosity)
- Popular in Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, VW/Audi, Lotus Elise/Exige, Toyota, Mendeola transmissions, and Atlas transfer cases for off-road applications
- Offers quicker shifts with an optimal synchroniser coefficient of friction
- Safe for brass synchros, lacking the reactive sulfurs found in most GL-5 oils that can cause damage
- Provides high-performance gear protection and extends synchro life
- Eliminates notchy shifting even in cold conditions
- Satisfies viscosity requirements for 75W90, 80W90, 90, and engine oil viscosities of SAE 40, 10W40, and 15W40
- Recommended for GL-1, GL-3, and GL-4 applications, as well as where special synchromesh fluids are specified
Further Info
MT-90 is a fully-synthetic ester-based lubricant designed for use in manual transmissions and front-wheel-drive transaxles. This shear-stable formula resists breakdown over extended periods, providing consistent viscosity in both warm and cold temperatures, resulting in reduced gear noise and improved shifting. The fluid is less slippery, enhancing the synchroniser coefficient of friction and offering stronger film strength for better wear protection.
- Appropriate coefficient of friction for most manual transmission synchronisers
- Excellent gear and synchro protection, with balanced slipperiness for easier shifting in cold climates
- Compatible with petroleum and other synthetic oils
