Product Information
Full details
The MORRIS Golden Film AG140 Classic Gear Oil is designed for classic and vintage vehicle owners, mechanics, and enthusiasts who require a high-quality, mineral-based gear lubricant that is safe for phosphor-bronze components and avoids extreme pressure (EP) additives. Its key benefit lies in providing reliable lubrication and protection for older transmissions and drivelines without the risk of damaging sensitive materials. A potential caveat is that it is not suitable for modern applications requiring EP additives.

FAQs
Can I use this oil in my modern car's transmission?
No, this oil is specifically formulated for older equipment that requires non-EP lubricants and is safe for phosphor-bronze. Modern transmissions typically require specialized synthetic oils with EP additives.
What does 'non-EP additive' mean?
EP stands for Extreme Pressure. Additives that provide extreme pressure resistance are designed to protect gears under very high loads. This oil lacks those additives, making it safe for components that can be damaged by them, such as phosphor-bronze.
What is API GL2?
API GL2 is a performance classification for gear oils. It generally covers lubricants for manual transmissions and some axles where mild conditions and non-EP lubrication are sufficient. It is a less demanding specification than GL-4 or GL-5.
How often should I change this gear oil?
The change interval depends heavily on the equipment manufacturer's recommendations. For classic vehicles, refer to the original service manual or consult a specialist familiar with that particular model.
Is this oil suitable for differentials?
Yes, it is suitable for differentials and axles where the manufacturer specifies a non-EP lubricant (API GL2). Always check your equipment's manual.
What is the shelf life of this oil?
When stored correctly in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, mineral-based gear oils typically have a very long shelf life, often several years.
Troubleshooting
Gear grinding or difficult shifting
Ensure the correct oil level is maintained. If the issue persists, verify that this non-EP oil is appropriate for the gearbox's original specification; a modern EP lubricant might be required if the initial specification was misinterpreted or if the gearbox has been modified.
Oil leakage
Check seals and gaskets for wear or damage. Ensure the oil is not overfilled. While the oil itself isn't the cause of leaks, maintaining the correct level is crucial.
Noise from gearbox/axle
Verify the oil viscosity and type are correct for the application. This AG140 oil provides good film strength, but excessive wear in components can still lead to noise. Ensure the oil level is adequate.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Safe for sensitive phosphor-bronze components in classic transmissions.
- Formulated without potentially damaging EP additives.
- Provides good natural film strength for essential lubrication.
- Suitable for a variety of classic automotive and industrial applications.
- Offers good anti-foam performance and long-term stability.
Cons
- Not suitable for modern equipment requiring EP additives.
- Mineral oil base may offer less extreme temperature protection than synthetics.
- Limited to API GL2 performance level, which might not meet all specifications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
- This oil is compatible with manual gearboxes, axles, worm gear drives, oil lubricated bearings, reduction gears/hubs, chains, steering boxes, and king-pins where the manufacturer specifies a non-EP lubricant (API GL2 performance level).
- It is specifically safe for transmissions containing phosphor-bronze components.
- Not recommended for modern transmissions, differentials, or gearboxes that explicitly require lubricants with extreme pressure (EP) additives.
Setup & Use:
- Drain Old Oil: Ensure the system is completely drained of old lubricant.
- Fill: Add the MORRIS Golden Film AG140 to the recommended level according to the equipment manufacturer's service manual.
- Check Level: Regularly check the oil level as per the equipment's maintenance schedule.
Care:
- Store the oil in its original container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use.
- Dispose of used oil responsibly according to local environmental regulations.
