Apec 75W90 FS Transmission Oil 5 Litre (A3045L)

Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. A3045L

This is Apec 75W90 FS in the 5 litre can: a synthetic 75W-90 gear oil carrying both API GL-4 and GL-5, the larger size for a drain and refill or for more than one car. Apec lists it for jobs that would otherwise take an 80W-90, 85W-90 or straight 90 oil to either rating, with smoother shifting from cold and a long working life.

Good to know

• Which gearboxes and axles? Those whose handbook names a 75W-90, 80W-90, 85W-90 or 90 oil to API GL-4 or GL-5; the grade and the rating both need to match.
• Can it go in a gearbox that asks for GL-4? Yes, it is rated GL-4 as well; check for that on any gear oil, as oils rated GL-5 alone can be hard on brass synchromesh rings.
• How is a manual gearbox filled? Many are filled through the level plug until oil starts to run out; undo that plug before the drain plug, in case it is seized.

Which one?

For a top-up, the same oil comes in a 1 litre bottle (A3041L). Apec's 75W90 SS Transmission Oil 5 Litre (A3015L) has the same grade and both ratings for most synchromesh gearboxes and hypoid axles.
