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.

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 The specification API GL-6 had been withdrawn, since it was found that API GL-5 gear oils meet the requirements sufficiently.

5W-30 Longlife: What does it mean for VW, BMW, Mercedes and Co.

So-called Longlife engine oils refer to the flexible or extended maintenance intervals of the vehicle manufacturers. What is meant here is the change interval of the engine oil. Maintenance intervals of 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers, which for a long time have been the exclusive preserve of vehicle enthusiasts, are being replaced by long intervals of 30,000 kilometers in some cases.

Thus the Longlife characteristics mean a slightly different change interval depending upon manufacturer:

• BMW Longlife:usually this means 25,000 km for gasoline engines and 30,000 kilometers for diesel engines, alternatively 2 years
• VW Longlife:also here a Longlife change interval usually means 30,000 kilometers
• Mercedes Longlife: also here there is the Longlife interval. Depending on the model, maximum change intervals of 25,000 kilometers or one year are specified
