Synchronized manual transmissions are commonly used in modern vehicles. Most of these gearboxes feature synchronizers with bronze components. For such transmissions, it is essential to use gear oils with a moderate level of anti-seize additives, specifically those meeting the API GL-4 classification. These oils facilitate smooth gear shifting by ensuring proper contact between the synchronizer surfaces.

Using gear oils with a high concentration of anti-seize additives, such as those classified as API GL-5, can negatively affect gear shifting and lead to premature wear of the bronze synchronizer components.

For optimal performance and protection, we recommend HARTOL GEAR OIL SAE 80W-90. This oil offers a high level of protection under the API GL-4 classification while ensuring the proven reliability of SAE 80W-90 viscosity.
