Wow I am IMPRESSED....Shell must be listening to us here on BITOG!
Many of us have been asking the major petroleum manufacturers to offer a specific GL-4 ONLY rated gear oil for our light vehicles synchronized manual transmissions....THEY HAVE LISTENED!

THANK YOU PENNZOIL AND SHELL. I will be buying this for my VW Golf.

The link is gear oil 75W90, not MTF.

I prefer Amsoil MTG over Redline MT90 for long lasting.

The label text is: "API GL-4 MANUAL TRANSMISSION OIL"

Would this work in a 12 Jetta with a manual tranny?

I'd use it but they still have no suitable product for subaru
combo mt/front diff application.

Luckily I have 5.5liter of motul gear 300

Likely not buying a 500$ bucket of the new subaru extra mt gear oil 75w80 gl-5

Where does it say anything about being a GL-4 ?

I cant find it.

 

[KingCake]

Don't use it in a T-5.

Does the acronym MTF mean Manual Transmission Fluid? The product in the link is a fluid aimed specifically toward manual transmissions, which makes it an MTF, no?

Ford has a good manual transmission fluid. It's a 75w90 as well, I believe.

 

[SLCraig]

I have never seen that product but I can tell you in mine and my GF's Hondas Pennzoil Synchromesh is the best fluid you could ever use. I have been using it for a few years now. Shifts are crisp and flawless. Best fluid I've found yet for that application. My previous favorite for GL4 lube was always Amsoil MTG. (Used it in my manual trans Nissans)

I ll stick with the tes 295 Allison recommemded

Only problem is it is too thick for most of us who have to shift in cold weather.

Yes, it is.
This 'gear oil' is not axle oil.

You are going to want something with a lower viscosity. VW manual will say 75W-90 GL4 most likely but VW actually puts a very thin synchromesh like fluid in the MTX. You'd be better off with Redline MTL, Amsoil Synchromesh, or any good 75W, 75W-80 or synchromesh labeled fluid.

What I don't understand about Redline and Amsoil is why they have not developed or marketed dedicated LV MTF's for the newer transmissions that require them.

Redline's PSF chemistry could be slightly modified to make a dedicated LV MTF.

 

[aquariuscsm]

Something I've noticed about MT90 is that it seems to get "crunchy" and notchy once it's good and hot. Are synchromesh type fluids too thin for transmissions that spec 75W90 GL4's? Would running one cause any transmission damage? I'd definitely love to try this new Pennzoil. Wonder when and where it will become available?

I wouldn't touch a Synchromesh typically of KV@40*C of 48 cSt/KV@100*C of 10 when a spec'ed 75W90 GL4 would have KV@40*C of 90 cSt/KV@100*C of 15.6 cSt.

If Redline 75W90 MTF is 'unpleasant' for whatever reasons, I'll seek out other brands of 75W90 ...
