Pakelo Universal Gear EP LS SAE 80W-90: the ideal lubricant for mechanical transmissions and limited-slip differentials in agricultural and earthmoving machinery

When it comes to reliability and protection of mechanical components, the choice of lubricant plays a crucial role - especially in demanding environments such as agriculture and earthmoving. In this context, Pakelo Universal Gear EP LS SAE 80W-90 stands out as a high-level technical solution for the lubrication of mechanical transmissions, limited-slip differentials, final drives, and oil-bath brake/clutch systems.

Functional Benefits of Universal Gear EP LS SAE 80W-90

Formulated with Group II mineral base oils and selected additives, this lubricant ensures superior performance in terms of wear resistance and extreme pressure capability (EP). It is specifically designed to effectively protect even hypoid gears, preventing damage from scoring, scuffing, pitting, and abrasion thanks to its ability to avoid direct metal-to-metal contact between gear teeth.

One of the key features of Universal Gear EP LS SAE 80W-90 is the inclusion of Limited Slip additives (LS), which are essential for the proper functioning of limited-slip differentials and oil-bath brake/clutch systems. These additives modify the friction coefficient, reducing vibration and stick-slip phenomena, thus ensuring smooth, quiet, and reliable transmission even under heavy loads.

The lubricant also offers excellent thermal and oxidative stability, preventing the formation of sludge, varnish, and deposits that could compromise system efficiency. Other notable properties include anti-corrosion, anti-foam, and anti-rust capabilities, as well as high shear stability, which maintains consistent viscosity performance even after extended use.

ZF TE-ML 05N Approval: A Guarantee of Compatibility

A highly relevant technical aspect is the ZF TE-ML 05N approval, certifying the product’s compatibility with ZF axles equipped with multi-disc limited-slip differentials and oil-bath brakes. This certification confirms that Universal Gear EP LS SAE 80W-90 meets the strict standards required for applications where lubrication is separate from the main hydraulic circuit - as is the case in many agricultural tractors and construction machinery.

The ZF approval thus ensures a high level of reliability, minimizing the risk of mechanical failures and downtime.

Recommended Applications and Operational Advantages

Suitable for manual transmissions, transfer cases, final drives, and transaxle transmissions, Universal Gear EP LS SAE 80W-90 is a safe and high-performance technical choice for those operating in harsh environments and requiring a lubricant that can protect and optimize the performance of the most heavily loaded mechanical transmissions.
