What is 85W140 gear oil used for?
What is 85W140 gear oil used for?
Gear Oil GL-5 SAE 85W-140 gear lubricant is recommended for use in spiral bevel and hypoid differentials, power dividers, and oil-lubricated steering axle wheel bearings. Good gear life — Extreme pressure properties protect hypoid and other types of gears from scuffing and wear.
What is the difference between 80W90 and 85W140 gear oil?
The viscosity chart rates the 80W90 up to 95 degrees while the 85W140 is rated up to 120 degrees.

Is Lucas 85W140 gear oil Synthetic?
Lucas 85w140 Non-Synthetic Gear Oil.
What is 85W 90?
85W90 stands for the SAE class for which the transmission oil has been classified. This classification is made by the Society of Automotive Engineers. In the case of multigrade oil, the flow properties of the oil at certain temperatures are particularly important in this context.
What is SAE 85W 140?
GEAR OILS UNIVERSAL SAE 85W/140 are incredibly high-pressure gear oils. They are used wherever high levels of stress occur, such as in hypoid gears of road vehicles, final drive gears, planetary gears, construction machinery, agriculture and industry.
What is the difference between 85W90 and 80W90?
85W90 is only flowable down to -12 °C, 80W90 on the other hand down to -26 °C. If your vehicle is regularly exposed to very cold temperatures, we recommend 80W90 transmission oil, otherwise 85W90 can also be filled in. The performance parameters of the oils of both SAE classes are identical in many respects.
