It meets multiple specs including API GL-5 and MT-1 and is often used where an SAE 90 or 80W90 would be specified, while offering enhanced shear resistance and longevity versus conventional oils. Note: its low-friction nature can affect some manual transmission synchronizers, so it is not intended for most passenger-car manual gearboxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this oil protect hypoid gears under load?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe synthetic base stocks and high-performance additives create a robust lubricating film that resists breakdown at high pressures and temperatures.
