Liqui Moly 20010 Gear Oil - Front Differential or Rear Differential

Liqui Moly Hypoid Gear Oil for Differential Protection

Liqui Moly Hypoid Gear Oil (GL5) SAE 85W-90 is a mineral-based gear lubricant formulated for dependable protection in hypoid differentials and other final drive applications. It maintains consistent viscosity under load and helps preserve a stable lubricating film when torque demand rises.

Part number 20010 is a practical choice for drivers servicing front and rear differential applications across a wide range of import and truck platforms, including Lexus IS350, Subaru WRX STI, and Toyota Tacoma fitments.

Key Features

• SAE 85W-90 viscosity for hypoid gear applications
• GL-5 performance for differential and final drive use
• Mineral-based formulation for steady operation across temperatures
• EP additive package helps maintain film strength under high torque loads
• Supports wear protection in front differential and rear differential service
• Packaged in a 1 liter plastic can

Product Details

Part number 20010 is referenced in fitment data for front differential and rear differential service, with year-round use noted on many vehicles and colder-weather thresholds listed for others.

Compatible With applications such as 2023-2025 Lexus IS350 front differential, 2015-2021 Subaru WRX STI rear differential, and 1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma rear differential. This part cross-references no additional part numbers in the provided data.

Common Problems This Oil Helps Address

• Gear noise from worn or low-protection differential fluid
• Rough operation in hypoid gear sets under load
• Lubrication breakdown during high torque driving
• Wear concerns in front differential and rear differential service
• Fluid service needs on vehicles specifying GL-5 85W-90 gear oil

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the vehicle specification before service and confirm GL-5 SAE 85W-90 is required.
• Use the position listed in the fitment data, such as front differential or rear differential.
• Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s fill procedure and capacity requirements.
• Check operating temperature guidance in the fitment notes for cold-weather applications.
• Inspect for leaks, contamination, or abnormal gear wear during service.
