SAE 80 Smooth Shift Manual Gearbox and Transaxle Oil

SAE 80 Smooth Shift Manual Gearbox and Transaxle OilPart No:SS80
:SS80-4:  :SS80-1
Is an extreme pressure API GL-4 hypoid gear oil that provides smoother shifting in cold temperatures, helps reduce gearbox noise and controls idle rattle at higher operating temperatures. Nulon SAE 80 Smooth Shift is recommended as an alternative where DEXRON® III is required.

Nulon SS80 is an extreme pressure API GL-4 hypoid gear oil that provides smoother shifting in cold temperatures, helps reduce gearbox noise and controls idle rattle at higher operating temperatures. Nulon SAE 80 Smooth Shift is recommended as an alternative where DEXRON® III is required in manual gearbox for better shifting.

Nulon SS80 is optimized using the synergy of quality base fluids with performance additive chemistry to provide excellent wear protection while maintaining smooth gear changes at cold start. Nulon SS80 is designed to withstand high shearing and maintain lubricant film thickness for excellent wear protection. It is formulated with a low temperature fluidity agent to promote smoother gear changes and reduces gearshift baulking during cold temperature.

Nulon SS80 is suitable as a substitution for SAE 80W-90 or SAE 90 grade oil for gearboxes that experiencing gear shift problems. Nulon SS80 helps to reduce gearbox noise and controls idle rattle at higher operating temperatures.

Nulon SS80 is designed mainly for manual transmissions and transaxle applications where API GL-4 is recommended. It is intended for use in axles with spiral bevel gears under moderate to severe speed and load conditions. It can also be used for axles with hypoid gears under moderate speed and load conditions. Nulon SS80 may be used in selected manual transmission and transaxle applications where API MT-1 lubricants are not suitable.

For enhanced anti-wear performance use Nulon G70 Manual Gearbox & Diff Treatment.
