Two new gearbox oils by LIQUI MOLY
The lubricant specialist presents the TOP TEC MTF 5200 75W-80 and TOP TEC MTF 5100 75W products
September 2017 – Their area of use is completely different, yet gearbox and motor oils still have things in common:they are becoming ever more viscous and they have to be even higher performing.The two new performers in the gearbox oil range by German oil expert LIQUI MOLY are TOP TEC MTF 5200 75W-80 and TOP TEC MTF 5100 75W.
Additives are gaining greater and greater importance for motor oils. This development is similar in gearbox oils. The new MTF oils, which stands for Manual Transmission Fluid, are high-performance lubricants with minimal viscosity. The thinner the oils, the less the wear losses and fuel consumption. "Classic gearbox oils are disused here," says Oliver Kuhn, deputy head of the LIQUI MOLY oil laboratory. Furthermore, classic transmission and axle gearbox oils are set out too differently, as they are separated from one another in construction and have to complete their tasks under completely different conditions.
Nowadays, in modern gearboxes everything is fitted together. Correspondingly, modern gearbox oils such as TOP TEC MTF 5200 75W-80 and TOP TEC MTF 5100 75W have to have a lot of properties. "The material compatibility also plays a role. New materials in the gearboxes require new additive connections," says Oliver Kuhn.
TOP TEC MTF 5200 75W-80 was developed for use in transaxle, transmission and distribution gearboxes, TOP TEC MTF 5100 75W specially for manual transmission gearboxes and double-clutch gearboxes, S tronic and DSG. Both oils ensure outstanding shifting comfort, guarantee a clean gearbox and a long oil service life under all operating conditions.
