DELO® GEAR EP-5

Typical Characteristics

Delo® Gear EP-5 SAE 80W-90 is an automotive gear lubricant suitable for API GL-5 applications. It is formulated with mineral base oils in combination with a high performance additive system.

Delo Gear EP-5 SAE 80W-90 is designed for use in automotive hypoid drive axles, steering systems, non-synchronized transmissions and transaxles which require a fluid with API GL-5 performance. Operating temperatures of above 100°C will lead to a significant reduction in the fluid service life. Peak operating temperatures should not exceed 120°C. Note that Daimler axle oil specifications include a minimum viscosity requirement that is not met by Delo Gear EP-5 SAE 80W-90.

The friction characteristics of Delo Gear EP-5 SAE 80W-90 make it generally unsuitable for use in synchronized manual transmissions and transaxles, and it should not be used in these applications unless a GL-5 fluid is specifically recommended.
