Manufacturer's description

Mobilube LS 85W-90 is an extra high performance automotive gear lubricant, SAE 85W-90, formulated from select base oils and an advanced additive system specifically designed for limited-slip differentials. It is recommended by ExxonMobil for applications requiring API GL-5 level performance, including heavy duty differentials, axles and final drives operating under extreme pressures and shock loading. The product delivers excellent frictional properties for effective limited-slip performance, good thermal stability and resistance to high temperature oxidation, and protection against both low speed/high torque wear and high speed scoring. It also provides excellent rust, staining and corrosion protection, effective low temperature lubrication, good resistance to foaming, and compatibility with typical automotive seals and gaskets. Mobilube LS 85W-90 is intended for limited-slip differentials, axles and final drives in passenger cars, on-highway light and heavy duty trucks, buses and vans, as well as off-highway construction, quarrying and agricultural equipment. It meets API GL-5 and carries ZF TE-ML 05C, 16E and 21C approvals, and is recommended for ZF TE-ML 12C applications; it is not intended for transmissions or transaxles requiring engine oil or automatic transmission fluid.

Applications

  • Limited-slip differentials, axles, and final drives requiring API GL-5 level performance.
  • Passenger cars, on-highway light and heavy duty trucks, buses and vans.
  • Off-highway industries including construction, quarrying, and agriculture.
  • Other industrial and automotive applications involving hypoid and other gears operating under conditions where high speed/shock load, high speed/low torque, and/or low speed/high torque conditions prevail.
  • Initial fill, top-up, and refill of enclosed automotive-type gearing where SAE 85W-90 limited-slip gear lubricants are recommended.
  • Not intended for transmissions or transaxles for which engine oil or automatic transmission fluids are recommended.

Performance & benefits

  • Excellent frictional properties, for effective limited-slip performance.
  • Good thermal stability and resistance to high temperature oxidation, for extended gear and bearing life due to minimal deposits and longer seal life.
  • Protects against low speed/high torque wear and against high speed scoring, increasing load carrying capability and reducing operating costs.
  • Excellent rust, staining, and corrosion protection, for reduced wear and maintenance costs.
  • Effective low temperature lubrication, for reduced wear and ease of start-up.
  • Good resistance to foaming, maintaining film strength for reduced wear.
  • Compatible with typical automotive seals and gaskets, for minimum leakage and reduced contamination.
