Purpose and Specifications

RAVENOL EPX 85W-140 GL-5 is a tough mineral gear oil built for heavy-duty hypoid gears in axles, manual transmissions, transfer cases, and auxiliary gearboxes on cars, trucks, and farm equipment. It handles extreme pressure from high loads, keeping gears smooth and quiet even at hot operating temps up to 150°C.

This 4L pack delivers top protection against wear, rust, and corrosion with no foaming or sludging. The 85W-140 grade flows easy in cold starts down to -20°C but stays thick under heat, extending gear life in tough conditions.

• Meets API GL-5, MIL-L-2105D, ZF TE-ML 05A/16D/21A, MAN 342 M1, Mack GO-G, Ford SQ-M2C-9002A
• Perfect for high-stress hypoid axles and transmissions
• Neutral on seals and metals, no aggressive reactions

When to Use / Replace?

Use in vehicles and machinery calling for GL-5 extreme pressure gear oil, like older trucks, tractors, or 4x4s with hypoid differentials. Ideal for heavy towing or off-road where gears see max stress.

Replace every 50,000-100,000 km or 2-3 years under normal use; cut to 30,000 km yearly for severe duty like towing or dusty roads. Shelf life is 5 years sealed. Check level monthly, top up if low.

FAQ

Is this safe for my limited-slip differential? Yes, its GL-5 extreme pressure additives protect hypoid gears under high loads without harming standard diffs.

Can I mix with other gear oils? Best to drain fully first, but it's compatible with most mineral GL-5 oils for top-ups.

What if my area gets very cold? Flows well to -20°C, preventing hard shifts in winter.
