Description

This is a gear oil for mechanical transmissions with moderate "extreme pressure" characteristics and is specifically developed to avoid corrosion of copper alloys.

Applications

It is suitable for the lubrication of syncromesh gearboxes, transfer boxes, mechanical steering controls and most rear axles (certain rear axles should be run in with a GL5 oil).

Performance

This reliable formulation ensures good frictional characteristics and easy gear shifting. It also helps to reduce oil degradation, thus extending gear life.

PEAK ENGINE PERFORMANCE

Insulating engine parts in a protective shield​

The different layers of additive chemistry inside Champion lubricants immediately form a protective shield around the engine parts. This guarantees a robust oil film at any given moment, allowing maximum engine output even in the harshest and most demanding conditions. ​​

MAXIMUM PROTECTION

Shielding engine parts from dust and particles​

The shielding components in Champion Lubricants actively capture small dust and carbon particles, keeping them sealed between microscopic plates. This limits abrasive wear on the engine components, ensuring optimum engine performance at all times.

OPTIMAL HEAT CONTROL

Shielding the engine from excessive heat​​​

Adaptive Shield Technology ensures Champion lubricants can easily drive out the excessive heat inside the engine, guaranteeing oil film strength is maintained throughout the complete service life of the oil and the engine is protected at any given moment. ​
