I've change oil yesterday but unfortunately i didn't have enough money to buy proper 75w-80 :o oil so i bought this one ...

 

Oil specs. :

 

DESCRIPTION

Mobilube GX-A 80W is an automotive gear lubricant formulated from high performance base oils and an advanced additive system. This lubricant is engineered for commercial transmissions, axles, and final drives where protection against wear and scoring is required. It provides excellent performance in Mercedes Benz applications and where API GL-4 service is required.

 

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Today's drivetrain applications place higher performance demands on lubricants. Higher speeds, higher torque, and heavier loads require improved formulations to maximise equipment life and optimise operating costs. Longer service intervals place additional demands on the gear lubricant requiring effective basestock and additive systems. Mobilube GX-A 80W is engineered to meet these challenges. The key benefits include:

 

Good thermal stability and resistance to high temperature oxidation - Extended gear and bearing life due to minimal deposits Longer seal life

Excellent rust and corrosion protection - Longer component li

Good low temperature lubrication - Reduced wear at start-up and ease of start-up li

Compatible with typical automotive seals and gaskets - Minimum leakage and reduced contamination
