DaTo G-MAX 85W90 GL-5 Automotive Gear Oil
DaTo GMAX 85W90 is a premium quality API GL-5 extreme pressure automotive gear oil specially formulated using highly solvent refined base oils and advanced sulphur-phosphorus additives. Designed for severe-duty hypoid gears, heavy-load manual transmissions, steering gears and differential applications, it delivers outstanding anti-wear protection, thermal stability, sludge control and long-lasting lubrication performance.
Product Overview
DaTo GMAX 85W90 Gear Oil API GL-5 | Extreme Pressure Automotive Gear Lubricant UAE
DaTo GMAX 85W90 is a heavy-duty extreme pressure (EP) automotive gear lubricant developed for demanding transmission and axle systems operating under high load, high torque and shock conditions.
Manufactured from premium solvent refined mineral base oils combined with a high-performance sulphur-phosphorus additive package, this lubricant offers superior resistance against:
- gear tooth scoring,
- pitting,
- wear,
- oxidation,
- sludge formation,
- corrosion.
Its API GL-5 performance grade makes it highly suitable for hypoid gear sets, heavy-duty differentials, non-synchronized manual transmissions, steering gears and industrial automotive gear systems where severe pressure conditions exist.
Modern GL-5 gear oils are widely recommended for hypoid drive axles and heavy-duty gear applications because of their enhanced EP additive chemistry and high load carrying capability.
Benefits
- Extreme Pressure Gear Protection: Advanced EP additive technology forms a strong lubricating film to protect gears during shock loading and high torque operation.
- Premium Solvent Refined Base Oils: Ensures stable viscosity retention, reduced friction and reliable lubrication across varying temperatures.
- Sulphur-Phosphorus Anti-Wear Chemistry: Minimizes metal-to-metal contact, gear scuffing, tooth wear and surface fatigue.
- Excellent Thermal Stability: Maintains consistent lubrication under prolonged high temperature service conditions.
- Superior Deposit Control: Additional dispersant chemistry keeps sludge, varnish and carbon deposits suspended to prevent seal and gear contamination.
- Long Drain Interval Capability: Enhances lubricant life and reduces maintenance downtime in fleet and commercial applications.
- Corrosion and Rust Resistance: Protects ferrous and yellow metal components from oxidation and corrosive wear.
- Smooth Gear Engagement: Supports quieter operation, reduced vibration and reliable shifting in compatible gear systems.
