MOTUL Motylgear 75W80 Technosynthese Semi Synthetic Gear Oil is crafted to deliver consistent, high-level performance in demanding manual gearbox and transaxle environments. Its advanced Technosynthese blend ensures that gears are lubricated effectively from the moment of startup, even in colder conditions, while resisting breakdown under the heat and pressure of sustained operation.
Users will typically experience a noticeable improvement in gear shifting smoothness and precision. This reduction in friction not only makes driving more pleasant but also reduces the stress on transmission components. For example, during spirited driving or heavy loads, the oil's high shear resistance ensures that its protective film remains intact, preventing metal-to-metal contact and associated wear.
The oil's superior protection against wear, corrosion, and foaming is critical for extending the life of your transmission. Corrosion inhibitors safeguard metal surfaces, while anti-foam agents ensure a consistent lubricant film, even when gears are rapidly churning. This means fewer costly repairs and a longer service life for your vehicle's manual transmission system.
With excellent thermal stability, the 75W80 viscosity remains consistent across a wide temperature range, from cold starts to high-temperature operating conditions. This means your transmission receives optimal lubrication regardless of the driving environment, contributing to reliable performance and efficiency.
This gear oil is ideal for vehicles, including passenger cars, light trucks, and some commercial vehicles, that explicitly require a 75W80 viscosity grade for their manual gearboxes and transaxles. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or service manual to confirm the correct specification.
Verify Viscosity: Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual or service manual to confirm that 75W80 is the recommended gear oil viscosity and specification for your manual gearbox or transaxle. Using the incorrect oil can lead to premature wear or damage.
Transmission Type: This oil is specifically designed for manual gearboxes and transaxles. It is not suitable for automatic transmissions, continuously variable transmissions (CVT), or limited-slip differentials unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer.
Safety First: Ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and secured on jack stands or a hoist. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection).
Locate Drain Plug: Find the transmission's drain plug and fill plug. Place a suitable drain pan underneath.
Drain Old Oil: Carefully remove the drain plug and allow the old gear oil to fully drain. Replace the drain plug and gasket (if applicable), tightening to the manufacturer's specified torque.
Fill with New Oil: Remove the fill plug. Using a fluid pump or funnel with a hose, slowly add the new MOTUL Motylgear 75W80 until it begins to seep out of the fill hole. This usually indicates the correct level.
Secure: Replace the fill plug and gasket (if applicable), tightening to the manufacturer's specified torque.
Dispose Properly: Collect the used oil and dispose of it at an authorized recycling facility. Never pour used oil down drains or onto the ground.
Store in Original Containers: Keep the oil sealed in its original 1-liter bottles until use to prevent contamination.
Cool, Dry Place: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and out of reach of children and pets.
Shelf Life: Unopened, properly stored gear oil typically has a long shelf life. Once opened, it's best to use it within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., within 1-2 years) to ensure optimal performance, though sealed containers can last longer.
