Valvoline SAE 75W-140 Full Synthetic Gear Oil provides the ultimate gear protection in hypoid rear differentials and non-synchronized manual transmissions. Engineered to outperform, our formulation provides exceptional high and low temperature protection and excellent thermal stability, especially in demanding driving situations such as towing and off-roading. It contains an extreme pressure additive for better load carrying capacity and wear resistance, a limited slip additive for optimal clutch pack performance, and an anti-foaming agent for better lubrication and service life. It’s recommended for conventional rear axles and transmissions requiring EP gear lubes under high speed, high load, high torque and high horsepower conditions.

Product Features:
  • EXCEPTIONAL HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURE PROTECTION ranging from -22F to 390F degrees
  • REDUCES CHATTERING AND PROTECTS GEAR TEETH from oxidation, rust, and wear
  • FIGHTS CORROSION AND RUST with emulsifying agents and safeguards against impurities, oxidation and thermal breakdown
  • MEETS THE DEMANDS OF CONVENTIONAL AND LIMITED SLIP REAR DIFFERENTIALS where API GL-5 is specified, as well as non-synchronized manual transmissions that require API GL-4
  • MEETS OR EXCEEDS PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS for Ford M2C-192A, GM 12346140, Chrysler MS-8985 and API GL-5
