Gear oils are abbreviated with GL which stands for Gear Lubricant. Furthermore gear oil is called transmission fluid. It describes the various transmission oil classes with numbers from one to six representing the resistance of the oil. These classes were introduced shortly API by the American Petroleum Institute. The class API GL - 1 includes gear oils for light applications that are not mixed with additives. They are used in bevel gears, worm gears and non-synchronized manual. Oils class API GL - 2 are suitable for use in moderate applications, they usually contain additives that protect against wear. API GL - 3 oils have also been developed for moderate applications, are not recommended for hypoid gears.

 

Gear oil for matching application

Gear oils with API GL-4 classification, can be used under several conditions. They are suitable for bevel and hypoid gears with small axial offset and are also recommended for non-synchromesh gearboxes. For synchronized manual transmission oils class four is the minimum standard in Europe. API GL-5 gear oils are classified suitable for use under harsh conditions. They are used for lubricating bevel and hypoid gears with large axial offset. In addition they are suitable for use in differentials. Frequently manufacturers use in this type of gear oils various approvals that appropriate oil may be used in this case only in the approved by the manufacturer Gear. This is often found particularly in limited-slip differentials (LS). The specification API GL-6 had been withdrawn, since it was found that API GL-5 gear oils meet the requirements sufficiently.

The japanese automotive manufacturer Nissan counts as the third largest manufacturer around the world. Because of the massive knowledge about car, Nissan produces his own lubricants for cars. Additionally, Nissan directly recommends these oils in their service manuals. The original Nissan lubricants include the Nissan engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, differential oil, brake fluid and coolant. Nissan takes his focus onto a small product range. Therefore the Nissan engine oil is only available in the viscosity of 5W-30. In our online shop, the Nissan fluids are available for low prices. What stands out: The Nissan lubricants are available in grey plastics bottles or in metal bottles. The grey ones are special bottles for the european market. The metal bottles indicates the manufacturing in Japan. So ATO24 imports them directly from Japan. Nevertheless, all of these Nissan oils have to match the high quality standards from Nissan. So our customers can decide between these two original oils.
