PETRONAS Tutela Axle 500 is a premium semi-synthetic axle fluid delivering optimised load-carrying performance and component durability for today's axles, differentials and final drives over their standard service life. Suitable across a wide range of operating temperatures, it is recommended for transmissions requiring API GL-5. The fluid protects business profits and vehicle availability while reducing operating costs, through fuel-economy capability from optimised transmission efficiency and a wider operating temperature range that helps reduce operational energy losses. Longer axle life is driven by enhanced anti-wear, extreme-pressure (EP) and anti-pitting resistance, along with enhanced thermal and oxidation stability that provides viscosity stability and prevents deposit and sludge formation. It also delivers excellent low-temperature viscosity for improved lubrication during cold-weather start-up. PETRONAS Tutela Axle 500 75W-90 meets API GL-5, MIL PRF 2105D, Bosch TE-ML 08 and ZF TE-ML 07A/08 specifications.
