Purpose and Specifications

LIQUI MOLY 1035 Hypoid Gear Oil GL5 85W-90 is a tough mineral-based transmission oil built for highly stressed axle drives and hypoid gears in vehicles without limited-slip differentials. It delivers a stable lubricating film that protects against wear under extreme loads, high torque, and big temperature swings from -30°C cold starts to over 120°C operating heat.

This 1-liter bottle ensures smooth gear operation, reduces running noise, and prevents seal damage for reliable performance in older trucks, cars, and manual transmissions calling for API GL5 specs like MAN 342 M1 or ZF approvals.

• Key Benefits: Superior wear protection, quiet gears, stays thick when hot and flows in cold weather
• Volume: 1 liter - perfect for targeted refills
• Shelf Life: Up to 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in rear differentials, manual gearboxes, and hypoid axles per your vehicle's manual - ideal for heavy-duty or classic rides without LSD. Replace every 60,000 km or 3 years under normal driving, or sooner at 30,000 km/18 months for towing, off-road, or harsh conditions to avoid overheating and gear damage.

Its excellent aging resistance means fewer changes, saving you time and money while keeping transmissions running flawlessly.
