Performance Standards
SPC GL-5 GEARLUBE meets the following performance requirements:
- API GL-5
- MAN 342M-2
- ZF TE-ML 05A / 7A /12E / 16B / 16C/ 16D / 17B / 19B
Applications
SPC GL5 GEARLUBE is particularly recommended for lubricating hypoid gears subject to heavy loads (including dynamic loads), high slip between teeth and high temperatures.
It can also be used in conventional gearboxes and steering-boxes on cars and trucks, and in gear-boxes, final drives and power take-off on farm and earth-moving machineries.
It can thus be used for lubricating gears, requiring oil of extreme pressure property for which the manufacturer recommends an EP lubricant.
