Liqui Moly High Performance Gear Oil (GL4+) 75W-90 - 1L

Liqui Moly High Performance Gear Oil (GL4+) 75W-90 - 1L

The "Goldilocks" Synthetic Solution for Transaxles and Gearboxes

Upgrade your driving experience with Liqui Moly SKU: 20012. This high-performance oil is the primary choice for enthusiasts with front-wheel-drive transaxles or manual gearboxes that demand superior synchronizer engagement. The "GL4+" rating signifies a hybrid chemistry: it provides the necessary "grab" for synchros to align perfectly without the aggressive sulfur additives that can corrode brass and bronze components. Whether you’re braving a freezing morning commute or carving through a mountain pass, this fluid maintains its viscosity to provide a seamless mechanical connection.

What’s Included in the Box:

- (1) 1 Liter (1.05 Quart) Bottle: Features Liqui Moly’s signature built-in extendable pour spout—essential for filling gearboxes in tight engine bays without a pump.

The Liqui Moly Advantage

- Optimized Shifting: Specifically formulated to eliminate "crunchy" or "notchy" gear changes, particularly in 1st and 2nd gear when the transmission is cold.

- Synchronizer Safe: The GL4+ designation ensures it is 100% compatible with yellow metal synchronizers, preventing long-term chemical wear.

- Outstanding Thermal Stability: Its synthetic-technology base resists thinning at high temperatures, maintaining a robust protective film during spirited driving.

- Universal Compatibility: Acts as a TDL (Total Drive Line) oil, making it ideal for vehicles where the transmission and differential share the same fluid reservoir.

- Friction Reduction: Lowers internal drag and operating temperatures, which can lead to improved fuel efficiency and a longer lifespan for bearings and seals.

Precision Tip: GL4+ is often the "secret sauce" for owners of older Volkswagens and Audis who struggle with difficult shifts. The built-in spout on this bottle is a lifesaver, but always remember to loosen the fill plug before you remove the drain plug—you don't want to find out your fill plug is seized after you've already emptied the transmission!
