This is the single most common and most expensive error in driveline lubrication. API GL-5 carries a much higher level of sulphur-phosphorus extreme-pressure additive than GL-4. That is exactly what a hypoid rear axle needs, and exactly what will attack the brass and bronze synchroniser rings in many manual gearboxes. Fitting a GL-5 axle oil to a gearbox that specifies GL-4 does not fail immediately — it fails months later as crunching gear changes, and by then the synchronisers are finished.
The reverse error is quieter but just as real: a GL-4 oil in a heavily loaded hypoid axle does not carry the load, and the pinion wears.
A limited-slip differential has friction plates inside it, and an ordinary GL-5 oil will make them chatter and judder on slow turns. Use MAX GEAR LS/4X4 or PRO GEAR LS/4X4, which carry the friction modification the clutch pack needs along with full seal and friction-material compatibility. This matters in Iraq more than the product range suggests, because of how many pickups and 4x4s are working here.
Cyclon EVO GEAR TDL 75W-90 and PRO GEAR TDL 80W-90 are multi-purpose driveline oils built to serve synchronised and non-synchronised gearboxes, axles and differentials from one product. For a mixed fleet or a rural workshop carrying limited stock, one TDL drum replaces several — but only where the vehicle manufacturer permits it. Check before consolidating, not after.
A 75W-90 synthetic shifts noticeably better on a cold northern morning than an 80W-90 mineral oil, and holds viscosity better in summer heat, which is why it is worth offering on vehicles doing long distances. Heavier grades such as 85W-140 and 80W-140 belong on heavily loaded axles and towing duty, not as a general upgrade — a heavier oil in a gearbox that does not need it makes shifting worse when the vehicle is cold.
GL-5 carries a much higher level of sulphur-phosphorus extreme-pressure additive than GL-4. That is what a hypoid axle needs, and it is also what can attack the brass and bronze synchroniser rings in many manual gearboxes. Using a GL-5 oil where the manufacturer specifies GL-4 does not fail straight away; it shows up months later as crunching gear changes, by which point the synchronisers are worn out. The reverse is also wrong: a GL-4 oil in a heavily loaded hypoid axle will not carry the load and the pinion wears. Many vehicles take GL-5 in the axle and GL-4 in the gearbox, which means two drums in the workshop.
A dedicated limited-slip oil: Cyclon MAX GEAR LS/4X4 or Cyclon PRO GEAR LS/4X4. A limited-slip differential contains friction plates, and an ordinary GL-5 oil will cause them to chatter and judder on slow turns. The LS products carry the friction modification the clutch pack needs together with full seal and friction-material compatibility.
Total driveline. Cyclon EVO GEAR TDL 75W-90 and PRO GEAR TDL 80W-90 are multi-purpose oils built to serve synchronised and non-synchronised gearboxes, axles and differentials from a single product, which lets a mixed fleet or a workshop with limited storage carry one drum instead of several. Confirm the vehicle manufacturer permits it before consolidating.
Cyclon PRO GEAR PCT 75W-80 is formulated for manual gearboxes and axles of passenger cars where that quality and grade are specified, and is particularly recommended for Peugeot and Citroen gearboxes. For ZF manual and automated transmissions, Cyclon EVO GEAR XL 75W-80 is the long-life synthetic option.
