Extreme Pressure Gear Oil for Heavy-Duty Applications
DANA Lubes Gear Oil GL-5 80W90 is a premium extreme pressure (EP) gear lubricant engineered for the most demanding manual transmissions, differentials, and final drive applications. Formulated with an advanced sulfur-phosphorus additive system, this gear oil delivers exceptional protection against wear, scoring, and pitting under heavy loads and shock loading conditions.
Manufactured in our UAE facility with 30,000 MT annual capacity, this oil meets the rigorous requirements of API GL-5 and MIL-PRF-2105E specifications. Its outstanding thermal stability ensures consistent performance even under extreme operating temperatures, making it trusted by fleets and equipment operators across the GCC, Africa, and South Asia.
Key Benefits & Features
- Extreme Pressure Protection — Advanced EP additive system prevents metal-to-metal contact under high-load and shock-load conditions
- Superior Gear Wear Prevention — Minimizes wear on gears, bearings, and synchronizers, extending component life and reducing downtime
- Excellent Oxidation Stability — Resists thermal breakdown at high operating temperatures, maintaining performance over extended service intervals
- Corrosion & Rust Protection — Protects ferrous and non-ferrous components against corrosion and rust, even in wet or humid conditions
- Thermal Stability — Performs reliably in extreme heat conditions (50°C+ ambient), maintaining viscosity and film strength
- Shock Load Protection — Withstands sudden impact loads typical in construction and off-highway applications, preventing gear tooth damage

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between API GL-4 and API GL-5 gear oils?
API GL-5 gear oils contain a higher concentration of extreme pressure (EP) additives compared to GL-4, making them suitable for hypoid gears and applications with higher sliding velocities and heavier loads. GL-5 is recommended for most modern differentials and heavy-duty manual transmissions, while GL-4 is typically specified for lighter-duty transmissions with synchronizers that may be incompatible with high EP additive levels.
How often should gear oil be changed?
Gear oil change intervals depend on the application and operating conditions. For on-highway trucks, typical intervals are 250,000–500,000 km depending on the axle manufacturer’s recommendation. For construction and off-highway equipment, intervals of 1,000–2,000 hours are common. Always consult your equipment manufacturer’s service manual for specific guidance.
Is this gear oil suitable for limited-slip differentials?
DANA Lubes Gear Oil GL-5 80W90 is formulated for conventional hypoid differentials and manual transmissions. For limited-slip differentials (LSD), a gear oil with additional friction modifier additives is typically required. Contact our technical team for LSD-specific recommendations.
What packaging options are available?
We offer 200L drums, 1000L IBCs, flexitanks (24,000L), and ISO tanks for bulk shipments. Private label packaging is also available for distributors and private label partners.
