Apec 75W90 FS Transmission Oil 1 Litre (A3041L)

Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. A3041L

Apec 75W90 FS is a synthetic 75W-90 gear oil in a 1 litre bottle, rated to both API GL-4 and GL-5. Apec says it can stand in for an 80W-90, 85W-90 or straight 90 oil to either rating, and claims smoother changes, a fuel economy gain and a long life from its synthetic base.

Good to know

• Which gearboxes and axles is it for? Ones whose handbook asks for a 75W-90, 80W-90, 85W-90 or 90 oil to API GL-4 or GL-5; match the grade and rating before anything else.
• Is a GL-5 oil safe in a GL-4 gearbox? Only when it lists GL-4 as well, as this one does; an oil rated GL-5 alone can be hard on brass synchromesh rings.
• Is one bottle enough? It suits a top-up; most car manual gearboxes take more than a litre on a full refill, so check the capacity in the handbook first.

Which one?

For a full refill, the same oil comes in the 5 litre can, Apec 75W90 FS Transmission Oil 5 Litre (A3045L). Where the gearbox asks for GL-4 only and appears on Comma's list for Ford, Vauxhall, Mazda, Volvo or VAG, the fully synthetic Comma MVMTF Plus 75W90 (MVMTFP1L) is the other choice.
