Castrol Classic Ep90 Gear Oil – 1 Litre (1840B)

Description

Genuine Castrol Classic · Part no. 1840B

Castrol Classic EP90 is a straight SAE 90 extreme-pressure gear oil to API GL-4, in a 1 litre bottle. It is for gearboxes and final drives that ask for a GL-4 oil: spiral bevel final drives, mild hypoid axles, and spur and helical gears. It is not for high-offset hypoid axles that need GL-5, or for limited-slip differentials.

Good to know

• Will it suit my car? Check the handbook for an SAE 90 or EP90 oil to API GL-4; if it asks for GL-5 in the rear axle, or for a limited-slip oil, this is the wrong one for that job.
• What does EP mean? Extreme pressure: the additive that protects heavily loaded gear teeth. This oil is pitched at GL-4 strength, not the stronger GL-5 level used in high-offset hypoid axles.
• Is a straight 90 the same as a multigrade? No; a multigrade with a W figure is also rated for cold flow, so use the grade the handbook names unless the vehicle maker allows a swap.

Which one?

For a limited-slip axle, Apec's 80W90 LS (A3365L) is made for that job; for a multigrade GL-4 gear oil in 5 litres, see Comma EP80W-90 GL-4 (GO45L), and for GL-5 hypoid axles, Comma EP80W-90 GL-5 (EP80905L).
