Product Description
KATMOTO GEAR EP 85W-140 is an extreme-pressure API GL-5 automotive gear oil for drive axles, differentials and final drives in commercial, construction and mining vehicles. Its sulfur-phosphorus EP additive system provides outstanding load-carrying and shock-load protection for hypoid gears, with strong thermal and oxidation stability, rust, corrosion and foam protection for durable, long-life gear performance under heavy load.
Key Performance Features
| High EP load-carrying
API GL-5 extreme-pressure performance for hypoid gears under shock load. |
Heavy-load durability
protects drive axles and final drives in heavy and severe-duty equipment. |
| Thermal & oxidation stability
resists thickening and deposits under high gear temperatures. |
Rust & corrosion protection
protects gears and bearings against rust and corrosion. |
| Foam & shear control
stable performance with low foaming for consistent lubrication. |
Wide equipment suitability
suitable for commercial, construction and mining drive axles. |
Applications & Performance Level
| Applications | Drive axles, differentials and final drives in commercial trucks, construction and mining vehicles where SAE 85W-140 API GL-5 extreme-pressure gear oil is specified. |
| Specification | API GL-5 — extreme-pressure performance for hypoid gear applications. MIL-PRF-2105E — meets the performance requirements of MIL-PRF-2105E (licence not implied). ZF TE-ML 05A/16B/21A — suitable for ZF axle gear-oil requirements. Mack GO-J · MAN 342 — suitable for Mack and MAN axle gear-oil specifications.
