80W-90 / SAE 90 LS

80W-90 / SAE 90 LS is a gear oil in the Gear oils category. It is intended for manual gearboxes, axle drives, hypoid gears, industrial gearboxes and limited-slip applications when the technical requirement matches the data sheet and the vehicle, machine or equipment documentation. The visible grade/profile is 80W-90.

The decisive point is not the product name alone, but the full requirement profile: SAE grade, API GL class, limited-slip requirement, synchronizer compatibility and OEM specification. This localized page therefore keeps the same technical basis as the German shop entry and explains the product in English without shortening the selection notes.

Before ordering, compare the required approval, standard or viscosity with the product data, the PDF documents and the manufacturer's instructions. This is especially important when products have similar SAE, ISO, DOT or ATF labels but different additive packages or approval profiles.

Applications

Use 80W-90 / SAE 90 LS only for applications where the required specification matches. In practice this means checking the vehicle manual, service plan, machine documentation or workshop instruction before using the product for filling, topping up or conversion.
