White plastic pail labelled Valvoline 75W-90 synthetic gear oil

VALVOLINE

VALVOLINE 700285 5 gal Gear Oil Pail

SKU CH-EAY4-M8XJN

Synthetic 75W-90 gear oil in a 5 gal pail meets API GL-5 and MT-1 standards with a 152 viscosity index

  • Synthetic base oil resists breakdown at 204 °C flash point
  • 75W-90 grade flows at -45 °C pour point for cold starts
  • 152 viscosity index keeps film strength across wide temperature range
  • Meets API GL-5, MT-1 and MIL-PRF-2105E for heavy-duty axles
  • 5-gal pail supplies enough fluid for multiple differential services

Product Identity

VALVOLINE 700285 is a 5 gallon pail of synthetic gear oil formulated to SAE 75W-90 viscosity. It meets API GL-5 and MT-1 specifications plus MIL-PRF-2105E, Eaton, MACK, Meritor and SAE J2360 requirements for heavy-duty differentials and manual transmissions.

Thermal Protection and Efficiency

A viscosity index of 152 keeps the film stable across a wide temperature range. The pour point of -45 degrees Celsius ensures flow in extreme cold while the flash point of 204 degrees Celsius resists thermal breakdown under sustained load. Specific gravity measures 0.892 at 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Upgrade Considerations

This product replaces conventional mineral gear oils where synthetic performance and extended drain intervals are required. The Timken OK load of 50 pounds confirms extreme-pressure capability for heavily loaded gear sets. Buyers needing an AGMA-rated lubricant or a different SAE grade should select an alternative formulation.

Questions about this item

How do I pour the 5 gal pail into a differential without spilling, and what step is commonly missed?

Use a pump or spout that fits the pail opening; the step often missed is cleaning the fill port and checking the 75W-90 spec matches the OEM requirement before adding fluid.

When will this synthetic gear oil need replacement under normal service?

Follow the vehicle manufacturer's drain interval; the fluid's high viscosity index of 152 and pour point of -45 °C help it resist breakdown longer than conventional oils.

What is the first limit reached during sustained heavy towing with this oil?

The Timken OK load of 50 lb indicates the extreme-pressure capacity; exceeding that load can cause film failure before the 204 °C flash point becomes a concern.
