Designed specifically for API GL-4 machine consuming liquids. It is a fully synthetic gear oil designed to provide enhanced extreme pressure performance over conventional, similar fluids. Suitable for use in manual transmissions, gearboxes in the block with the driving axle and in other nodes where lubricants of class API GL-4 are required. With this oil, your concerns about the transmission will be reduced to a minimum. Excellent cold start protection, excellent low temperature fluidity. The price would be even lower, but you have to pay for quality.

Universal transmission product designed for use in manual transmissions and axles where API GL-4, API GL-5, or MT-1 oils are required. It will surprise you with its thermal stability: a high viscosity index does not allow the oil to thicken even at very low temperatures (up to minus 50). And in the heat, Total Trans SYN FE 75W90 does not liquefy, anti-corrosion and anti-wear protection remain at a high level. Serves happily ever after: it is necessary to change such oil less often than many of his “classmates”. Save on quantity, not quality!

Semisynthetics of the highest class for transmission systems of cars and trucks with the requirements for the use of oil level API GL-5. Imported components are mixed with high-quality domestic mineral and synthetic components - it turns out to be a very easily digestible mixture for cars that protects the transmission from wear and corrosion. The manufacturer, perhaps, is overly optimistic about the lower temperature limit at minus 35 degrees, but at minus 25 the cold start occurs without any problems. You can rely on this oil.

Simple and inexpensive, but effective gear oil, suitable for both cars (especially the elderly domestic), and for "oil-intensive" trucks. In addition to the mineral base contains highly effective additives that improve performance properties. Surprisingly, it responds well to low temperatures and lasts long enough. This is not the kind of oil that they brag to their friends, but it’s difficult for the “workhorse” to find something more suitable. Make the right choice.

How to choose gear oil
There is nothing difficult: about the recommended parameters of gear oil car manufacturers write in the instructions. Therefore, close attention should be paid to the labeling of the type of lubricant (GL-4, GL-5). When pouring an inappropriate product onto the transmission, an additional load will fall, and nothing good can be expected from it. In our ranking, we have resulted in the best transmission oils to date. Find yours among them. Enjoy the shopping!
