Excellent Chemical & Thermal Stability

Maintains oil integrity at elevated bulk oil temperatures encountered in heavily loaded axles and final drives — resisting oxidation, deposit formation and viscosity increase under sustained high-load and high-temperature operating conditions.

Outstanding EP Protection

Advanced EP additive system protects hypoid gear teeth under the three critical loading conditions — high-speed/shock load, high-speed/low-torque and low-speed/high-torque — that cause premature gear wear and failure in under-specified gear lubricants.

Good Low-Temperature Performance

Pour point of -30°C provides adequate cold-start performance for South African climate conditions — ensuring oil circulation to axle and drivetrain components on cold morning starts across the Western Cape, Northern Cape and high-altitude mining sites.

Outstanding Rust & Corrosion Protection

Demonstrated excellent rust protection in water-contaminated and wet operating conditions — protecting axle and final drive components from corrosive wear in wet haul road environments, high humidity coastal mining sites and agricultural operations.

Cost-Effective Mineral Performance

Delivers reliable API GL-5 performance at a mineral oil price point — the right specification for fleet operations, mining haul truck axles and agricultural equipment where operating conditions do not require the additional cost of fully synthetic gear oil.

Broad OEM Coverage

Meets API GL-5 — accepted across the widest range of heavy-duty truck, commercial vehicle and off-highway equipment OEM specifications requiring API GL-5 axle and final drive gear lubricant. One product covering a broad mixed fleet requirement.

Heavy-Duty Truck Axles

Hypoid rear axles on on-highway light and heavy-duty trucks, buses and commercial vehicles from all major OEM brands requiring API GL-5 gear lubricant specification.

Mining Haul Truck Axles

Final drives and axles on Cat, Komatsu, Bell and Liebherr haul trucks in open pit mining operations across the Northern Cape where API GL-5 mineral gear oil meets OEM requirements.

Construction Equipment

Axles and final drives on ADTs, graders, wheel loaders, excavators and compactors in construction and civil engineering applications across the Western Cape.

Agricultural Equipment

Tractor axles and final drives, combine harvester drives and other agricultural equipment across the Western Cape and Northern Cape farming regions where API GL-5 mineral gear oil is specified.

Industrial Hypoid Gears

Heavy-duty industrial and automotive applications involving hypoid gears under high-speed/shock load, high-speed/low-torque and low-speed/high-torque conditions.

Initial Fill, Top-Off & Refill

Suitable for initial fill, topping-off and refilling of enclosed commercial drive axles and final drives — across mixed fleet operations and mining site maintenance programmes.
