Red Line 75W85 GL-5 Gear Oil is a fuel-efficient differential oil with friction modifier already in the formula. Red Line notes that at 75W it carries roughly a third of the viscosity of a 75W90 at -40 C while delivering comparable wear, film and friction protection. Packaged in the five-gallon pail.

Key Features

  • Suits differential, final drive, gear oil and transfer case applications
  • Contains friction modifiers for clutch-type limited slip differentials; for most limited slip units no additional modifier is required
  • Known formerly as LightWeight Gear Oil
  • Popular in many Formula racing transaxles including Hewland LD-200 and FTR sequential
  • Satisfies gear oil viscosity requirements of SAE 75W80, 75W, 80W and 85W, plus SAE 30 and SAE 10W30 motor oil
  • Synthetic base stock with polyol esters for wear protection under extreme pressure
  • Contains friction modifiers, enough for most limited-slip units
  • Superior oxidation and shear resistance for consistent viscosity in service
  • Natural multigrade properties without unstable thickeners

Applications

Red Line lists it in many late-model BMW, Dodge, Ford, GM, Jeep, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Ram and Toyota applications, covering differential oil, final drive oil, gear oil and transfer case fluid. Also popular in Formula racing transaxles including the Hewland LD-200 and FTR sequential.
